Delaware Breakwater Range Rear Light edit
- ... that the Delaware Breakwater Range Rear Light was dismantled in 1919 and re-erected in Florida eight years later (pictured)?
Created by Mangoe (talk). Self nominated at 18:37, 23 January 2014 (UTC).
Date, length OK. Article well referenced. But the hook does not match the article. Ref 2 says the tower was dismantled in 1919, as in the hook, but the article says 1921. Suggest the article be amended, and place ref 2 immediately after the amended date. Also the nominated image does not appear in the article. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 14:21, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- This is what happens when one is working on too many things at once. I have altered the hook and the article to agree with the source. I have also added the image to the article, but not in the infobox since it doesn't show the light as it appeared in situ. Such photographs exist: finding one that can be used will take a little work. Mangoe (talk) 14:37, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for correcting the article and adding the image. But the date 1919 is in Ref 2, not Ref 3, so would you please add Ref 2 immediately after "In 1919 it was dismantled,". Sorry to be pedantic, but that's what the rules say. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 14:53, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- Done. Mangoe (talk) 16:10, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
