Just a thought, but the list of projects appears to be rather random. Is there some order to it? (chronological would make sense.) Would it be better presented as a table, including columns for construction date and involvement of Rennie, etc? At the very least, showing the date of the project (completion?) in brackets after the link would elevate this beyond a simple list of links.
(I'll make a note on my ToDo list that I have suggested this, but please no-one wait for me to do it! My ToDo list is currently hovering around the 40kB mark!)
Hull Middle Dock, cost £114,690 (1819) ref:page 135, John Rennie The life and Work of A Great Engineer 1761-1821, Cyril T.G. Boucher, 1963, Manchester University Press
No such dock as this - if it refers to junction dock it does not match other sources.
Re: "If the others are right, why are some wrong?" This is because reliable sources often disagree, particularly when dealing with events which are now over 200 years ago. Our job as editors is often to try to make sense of contradictory sources. Bob1960evens (talk) 09:58, 18 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
