Hi, I'll start reviewing this shortly. I'll ping you when I'm done. grungaloo (talk) 02:20, 18 February 2024 (UTC)


 * The infobox lists the reopen year as 1984, but the text of the article says 1985.


 * "The" when used with proper names - A few places throughout you capitalize "The" prior to a proper name (The Motts Flats Bridge, The Livingston Manor Covered Bridge Park). "The" should be lower case for these.
 * ✅, I think I got them all


 * Location is mentioned in lead (Rockland, Sullivan Country), but not mentioned or cited in the rest of the article.
 * ❌, mentioned in the History section
 * Yup - my bad.


 * - I would drop "age", there's no mention of "age" prior to this.

 * - Consider also adding that it reopened in 1985, otherwise this implies it maybe never reopened.

 * - "leads to" sounds odd since it implies this is the purpose of the bridge. You could just say "and is near". Also, IMO I think mentioned it's proximity to the homestead makes more sense for the lead than a park.


 * - Change to "Livingston Manor, New York", otherwise people likely won't know where that town is.

 * - Don't think you need "specifically", seems redundant.
 * ✅ -Dcdiehardfan (talk) 04:13, 19 February 2024 (UTC)


 * - 5 US tons is 10,000 lbs, so one needs to be removed.
 * ✅ -Dcdiehardfan (talk) 04:13, 19 February 2024 (UTC)


 * - For general readers add a gloss/explanation of what these different widths mean.
 * ✅, added footnote


 * - I think you can drop the last comma since it's part of the same clause that follows from "and at each end".


 * - "openings"?
 * ✅ -Dcdiehardfan (talk) 04:13, 19 February 2024 (UTC)


 * - I think you're ok to drop refs 2 and 5 from the mid-sentence and put 5 on the end since these citing the whole statement together.


 * Associated Locations section - Locations should be lower case MOS:AT.
 * ✅ -Dcdiehardfan (talk) 04:13, 19 February 2024 (UTC)


 * - Minor rewrite might be needed, the way this is written sounds like Willomec Creek is "on" the Covered Bridge Road which doesn't really make sense. Are you trying to say that the bridge itself is on Covered Bridge Road, and also that it crosses the creek? Might just need to reorder this.


 * - Semicolon should be a comma, it's a dependent clause of the first part, not and independent clause.
 * ✅ -Dcdiehardfan (talk) 04:13, 19 February 2024 (UTC)


 * - Second time Willowemoc creek is linked in the section, drop this one.
 * ✅ -Dcdiehardfan (talk) 04:13, 19 February 2024 (UTC)


 * - Semicolon should be a comma.


 * - This sentence sounds a bit off, I think it needs an "and" before "additional laminated arches", and then you can probably drop the "and" before "to increase the total load".

, my review is finished. No issues with sources, copyvio, or images, just some minor prose things to correct. Let me know if you have any questions. grungaloo (talk) 16:04, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Hey, I'm just a random editor here, but I went ahead and already implemented some of these GAR suggestions, as noted above, so hopefully this'll facilitate the process and make it easier for the nominator. Good luck on getting this to GA btw and feel free to correct/amend my changes! -Dcdiehardfan (talk) 04:13, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
 * , that should be everything. 🏵️ Etrius ( Us) 05:26, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
