Old Bridge, Hasankeyf

(

... that scholars believe the relief carvings on the 12th-century Old Bridge (piers pictured) in Hasankeyf, Turkey, depict the page corps of Artuqid ruler Qarā Arslān?

ALT1:... that a Venetian merchant described the 12th-century Old Bridge (piers pictured) in Hasankeyf, Turkey, as "so wide and lofty that a vessel of three hundred tons, with all its sails set, can pass under it"?

Length, newness, cites, both hooks and QPQ all good. Strongly prefer the first hook. Excellent article. Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:36, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

The first paragraph under Context (probably that should be renamed "Background"); third paragraph under Construction; second paragraph under Comparison with contemporary bridges; first paragraph under Ottoman period; and second paragraph under Modern period and archaeological study are all missing at least one citation, per Rule D2.

Thanks for picking up on those, Yoninah. I'll work on adding the cites.Rupert Clayton (talk) 21:17, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

@Rupert Clayton: I didn't realize you had improved the sourcing almost a week ago. I only watch the DYK template page, not the article. Next time, please post here when you respond to a reviewer request. Every paragraph now has a cite (I added one for the Gertrude Bell paragraph), and a spot check of numerous sources shows no close paraphrasing. Image is free-license. Restoring tick per Maury Markowitz's review. Yoninah (talk) 20:34, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
