Long enough, new enough, neutral enough, cited enough (and in the right places), the line on the parking lot comes close to the source, but everything else that is accessible is fine, so I'm prepared to gamble that the off-line sources are not being plagiarised. The hook is not that exciting but it will do for a bit of filler. Belle (talk) 00:22, 24 June 2014 (UTC) Sorry, forgot to mention that the picture is OK too, but maybe a little bit indistinct at this size: it's recognizable as an island if you've read the hook, but maybe not if you are looking at it without context.

I've rewritten that sentence and changed the pictures. What do you think of the new one? BobAmnertiopsis ∴_ChatMe! 01:04, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

That's nicer than the old one at full size but (for me) totally mysterious at this thumbnail size. I'd put the old one back and see what the person promoting it to the queue thinks. Belle (talk) 09:32, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Still ready (don't be put off by a bit of chit-chat between BobAmnertiopsis and me). Belle (talk) 09:32, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

I hesitate to send this to prep with this image -- at this size it's completely inscrutable.

No worries; whoever's prepping it is free to disregard the image if better ones are available, which I'm sure they are. BobAmnertiopsis ∴_ChatMe! 22:58, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
