Former Adelaide Level lead mine

• ... that the former Adelaide Level lead mine in Swaledale, England (pictured), was named after Lady Adelaide Lamont, a descendant of Judge Jeffreys? "Lady Lamont .. Adelaide Louisa ... was a descendant of Lord Chancellor Jeffreys, whose reputation suffered for severe treatment which he meted out to the participators in Monmouth's Rebellion". and "The Adelaide Level ... was named after one of the daughters of Sir George Denys ... Adelaide Denys ... became Lady Lamont".
  • ALT1: ... that in 1865, miner George Cottingham and his son discovered a vein of lead ore, reportedly worth £12,000 (equivalent to £1,449,217 in 2023), in Adelaide Level lead mine in Swaledale, England (pictured)? "In 1865 ... Adelaide Level ... George Cottingham and his son hit a rich flat of ore which was said to have produced approximately £12,000 worth of ore".

• The article is long enough and new enough. I assume good faith on the references that I can't access. A QPQ has been completed. The picture is fine. Either hook can be chosen by the promoter. SL93 (talk) 15:34, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

• SL93, does it count as a WP:EASTEREGG to link this article purportedly about the mine (looking at the link) to a general article about the area instead? Just checking before I promote. MeegsC (talk) 17:24, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

• Thanks Storye book. The originals might have been fine; I'm still pretty new at this promotion thing, so I thought I'd better ask! ;) MeegsC (talk) 19:46, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

• No worries. Thanks for the heads up. Lets hope this works, now. Storye book (talk) 19:59, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

• @MeegsC: I'm not sure so I will just approve ALT2 and ALT3. SL93 (talk) 22:50, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

• Thank you both. I have struck out ALTs 0 and 1 in support of your decision, but please feel free to unstrike them if you wish to. Storye book (talk) 10:07, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
