SkyCycle edit

  • ... that the estimated cost of the first phase of SkyCycle is £220 million?

5x expanded by Tentinator (talk). Self nominated at 19:11, 12 February 2014 (UTC).

  • 5x expansion verified. Article is new enough, long enough, well-referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Hook ref verified and cited inline. QPQ done. My only question is whether the hook says enough. Do you think you need to describe what or where SkyCycle is? Yoninah (talk) 19:37, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that the estimated cost of the first phase of SkyCycle, a proposed network of elevated cycle paths above train tracks in London, is £220 million?

This new hook should explain what SkyCycle is and is fewer than 200 characters (149 characters).   Tentinator   20:57, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
  • How about shortening it a bit:
  • ALT2: ... that the first phase of SkyCycle, a proposed network of elevated cycle paths in London, is expected to cost £220 million? Yoninah (talk) 21:14, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
  • The shortened version is fine by me.   Tentinator   21:42, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Since I only took some words out of the nominator's hook, I'm going ahead and approving this. Hook refs verified and cited inline. ALT2 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 12:25, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
