Peak Walk

[edit]

Created by AntanO (talk). Self nominated at 05:33, 31 October 2014 (UTC).

Nominator doesn't seem to understand the difference between a restrictive and nonrestrictive clause [1], so...

ALT1 ... that Peak Walk in the Swiss Alps, is the first suspension bridge to connect two mountain peaks?

(Additionally, there are no suspension bridges on Mars or elsewhere off "the world", and readers know what mountains are without following a link.) EEng (talk) 11:21, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

I do understand the difference between a restrictive and nonrestrictive clause. But, the way you altered in not constructive review IMO. I do not want to discuss that there are suspension bridges on Mars or elsewhere off "the world", and I just added more Interwiki links for "mountains" rather than assuming readers' knowing. Do you think that ALT1 ok and good to go? If so, I can change the hook. --AntonTalk 12:08, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Reviewed

  1. Article was created 29 October 2014 and nominated on 31 October 2014 - so it is new enough
  2. Article is approximately 1,600 characters in length - so it is just long enough
  3. Article is clear of any copyright violations
  4. There are however some issues, in particular relating to referencing that do need to be addressed:
  • There are some minor grammar corrections required such as "it is built to tourist attraction..." Also why is it a tourist attraction in Asia when it is in the Swiss Alps? The third reference contains a bare url. There is also no cited references for the cost of the bridges construction or for the estimated visitor numbers or for the number of people that the bridge can accommodate.Dan arndt (talk) 03:45, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the comments. I have corrected as per your comments. --AntonTalk 06:13, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Need to still correct grammar, I'd suggest "It was built as a tourist attraction in Europe" and "it cost 1.8 million". Also "0.8m wide and 1.2m high with a 15% slope". I also want to check that there's no copyright violations - once I've done that I'll let you know. Dan arndt (talk) 12:44, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Reference #1, #3 & #7 are virtual duplicates - I would have to guess that they are replications of the press release issued by Glacier 3000 (reference 3#). Typically references should be from reliable, third-party, published sources - not the primary source (which Glacier 3000 is being the company which constructed and operates the Peak Walk is).
  • References #9 (The Local), #10 (Clapway) & #11 (You&I - Wemedia (India) Pvt. Ltd) need to include details of publisher and date of publication.
They might be virtual duplicates since the subject is new. I have added a few references via HighBeam and etc. Ref #9, 10 & 11 are fixed. --AntonTalk 03:04, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
If you have other independent verifiable references, which it would appear you do, then I would suggest you remove the virtual duplicate references, as they don't add any value.Dan arndt (talk) 06:14, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Reference #11 doesn't confirm "Peak Walk is anchored by 20 pieces in the rock." (am not certain what is meant by 20 pieces, is it 20 anchor points?).

All issues have now been addressed and I'm satisfied that it complies with the DYK requirements. Dan arndt (talk) 09:59, 11 November 2014 (UTC) ·

I've removed the comma from the original hook, and also the corresponding one in the article. As EEng was pointing out, with the comma it says this is the world's first suspension bridge, which is absolutely false. MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 21:48, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
