... that the fortifications of Gibraltar (Princess Anne's Battery pictured) have made it probably the most densely fortified place in Europe and possibly in the world?

First review completed

As far as I can see, this claim is said to have been made by John Chapple, but no source for his quote is provided. Fram (talk) 09:24, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
- You're quite right, I had meant to add this citation but forgot. It's resolved now. Prioryman (talk) 10:32, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

I can't access the source for the hook. While the publisher is unknown except for this book, which doesn't have an ISBN either, the authors (certainly Hughes) seem to be recognised experts on the subject of fortifications. Fram (talk) 06:40, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Second review completed

Hook is directly cited to an offline source. Moved from userspace on the 24th May, the same day as nomination. As it is over 42,000 characters I think it just about meets the size requirements! ;) Referencing is excellent, and I think this one is good to go. You'd be mad not to try a GA nomination with it.

Just to note, that I considered the COI aspects as this was a Gibraltar nomination. I can't see this being a possible COI other than it being about Gibraltar itself. So it's fine for DYK and other aspects. Miyagawa (talk) 13:24, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
