  • Right up my alley. Length, newness, cites all good to go. Just need that QPQ. Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:50, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
  • QPQ now done Bikeroo (talk) 07:38, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
ALT1 ... that Col. Frederick Henry Rich investigated over 250 railway accidents‍—‌including the Staplehurst accident (pictured), in the aftermath of which Charles Dickens tended the injured?

ALT2 ... that Col. Frederick Henry Rich investigated over 250 railway accidents‍—‌including Staplehurst (pictured), where Charles Dickens tended the injured?
QPQ complete, let's pick an ALT and go! Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:00, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
ALT2 is better than ALT1, but here Staplehurst is shorthand for "the Staplehurst accident" (it certainly doesn't mean Staplehurst as a place per se), so I think where needs to become after which or (perhaps better) at which. EEng (talk) 15:08, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
Context seems pretty clear to me, especially given the "pictured". But a "the" in front and "incident" in the link would be fine. Maury Markowitz (talk) 01:13, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
ALT3 ... that Col. Frederick Henry Rich investigated over 250 railway accidents‍—‌including the Staplehurst incident (pictured), in the aftermath of which Charles Dickens tended the injured? EEng (talk) 02:14, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
  • Comment I'm inexperienced round here, but ALT3 seems a little long to me. I don't think ALT2 is particularly misleading. "Staplehurst" is clearly being used in stipulation to the preceding word "accidents". --Dweller (talk) 14:37, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
It's not a question of being misleading, rather that Staplehurst, where makes no sense since an accident isn't a place. We can certainly take out incidents, though.
ALT4 ... that Col. Frederick Henry Rich investigated over 250 railway accidents‍—‌including Staplehurst (pictured), in the aftermath of which Charles Dickens tended the injured?

Support. --Dweller (talk)

Thanks for the reviews. To enable this to progress to the next step, someone needs to give it a green tick.({{subst:DYKtick}}) Bikeroo (talk) 20:57, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

QPQ provided, all good to go. Maury Markowitz (talk) 21:54, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
