Barrage Vauban

[edit]
Barrage Vauban, October 2012
Barrage Vauban, October 2012
  • ... that the principal defensive function of the Barrage Vauban in Strasbourg was to enable the flooding of all the lands south of the city, making them impassable to the enemy?

5x expanded by Chris j wood (talk) and Edelseider (talk). Nominated by Edelseider (talk) at 12:18, 30 September 2015 (UTC).

  • Expansion checks out, appears to be reasonably complete and well-referenced. Hook is in the article and referenced. I rewrote the hook to include the article name and the location. Image is appropriate and suitably licensed. QPQ review does not appear necessary as this is the nominator's first nomination. Good to go! Constantine 13:00, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
