Watersnoodmuseum
edit- ... the Watersnoodmuseum (Flood Museum) in Ouwerkerk is housed in Phoenix caissons that were originally built for the Normandy landings in World War II?

Promising article, thank you. In the hook, I would in this case add the translation "Flood Museum" to create interest. The article is new enough and long enough, but needs one inline citation per paragraph (which can be the same as before). Please add. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:13, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comments. I have added more inline citations as suggested. I have also put some of the one line paragraphs into the larger ones, where it makes sense, so as to avoid too many reference repetitions. Hope this looks better.Rimmer1993 (talk) 17:35, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for more sourcing. I formatted it a bit, having the citations after the punctuation, and when more than ref to one fact, have them sorted from the lowest number. Next wishes: A place, country and date of founding in both lead and infobox. You know it's in the Netherlands ;) - I also changed the headers of the four caissons to something uniform, - please check if correct. Perhaps it would be a good idea to have the original Dutch titles in the respective sections. - the number of visitors is not sourced yet. - I ask if Drmies has time to check the translation. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:44, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

- I haven't looked at the sources yet; I can't read the NatGeo article, which I imagine might have some more info than just the not-so neutral statement I just cut from the article. It needs a few more edits; it is too close to Dutch. Drmies (talk) 00:26, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
- So a couple of other editors have kindly made some changes through copyedit and tidied up the references. Is this worth another look to see if any more needs to be done for DYK NOM?Rimmer1993 (talk) 11:22, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
- Much improved, thank you. Please find citations where they are missing (or drop the fact), and add the time of foundation to lead and infobox. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:25, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review. I have changed the image as the original had been removed from Commons. I have removed the one statement that had been flagged as needing a citation (i couldn't find a reliable source). I have added the exact official opening date to both lead and infobox as requested.

- Thank you! Consequently, the number of visitors should probably not appear in the infobox.
