Length, newness, cites, both hooks and QPQ all good. Strongly prefer the first hook. Excellent article. Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:36, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
The first paragraph under Context (probably that should be renamed "Background"); third paragraph under Construction; second paragraph under Comparison with contemporary bridges; first paragraph under Ottoman period; and second paragraph under Modern period and archaeological study are all missing at least one citation, per Rule D2.

- Thanks for picking up on those, Yoninah. I'll work on adding the cites.Rupert Clayton (talk) 21:17, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
@Rupert Clayton: I didn't realize you had improved the sourcing almost a week ago. I only watch the DYK template page, not the article. Next time, please post here when you respond to a reviewer request. Every paragraph now has a cite (I added one for the Gertrude Bell paragraph), and a spot check of numerous sources shows no close paraphrasing. Image is free-license. Restoring tick per Maury Markowitz's review. Yoninah (talk) 20:34, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
