Thank you for a substantial article on good sources, offline accepted AGF. The image is licensed and a good illustration. I suugest you add the other name via Pontificum to hooks, which tells thoose who know immediately about Roman history. In ALT1, I'd like to see something such as "now demolished", and in ALT2 we'd need a year instead of "newly". The original hook would work only with the image, because without it, we'd not know what a treasure was destroyed. - In the article, one para close to the end lacks a ref. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:24, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing this "harte Brocke", @Gerda Arendt: :-) Paragraph sourced (I hope that was that one). I did not understand where I should add via Pontificum :-(; something like Borgo Nuovo (also named via pontificum)? Anyway, consider that the "common name" for the road was "Via Alessandrina" until 1570 and "Borgo Nuovo" afterwards: the other two were "technical" names, and never became popular. Yes, it would be nice if finally some of my DYKs were published with a picture; :-) anyway, I put the adjective "renaissance", so the readers could have a suspect that someone important was there also without pic...

thank you, I like them all, but think ALT5 is a little wordy. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:13, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
