Cochecton–Damascus Bridge

 * ... that a lawsuit over the construction of the Cochecton–Damascus Bridge (pictured) between New York and Pennsylvania led to a ruling that sovereign immunity did not extend to the states' joint bridge commission?
 * ALT1:... that for most of the 19th century, the Cochecton–Damascus Bridge (current structure, pictured) was the only one for 30 mi in either direction across the Delaware River between New York and Pennsylvania?
 * Reviewed: Preoperative care

 * Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough, meets core content policies. I can't seem to find the fact that the case was a precedent in the source for the original hook (perhaps I'm missing something?) and can't verify ALT1 at all. --Jakob (talk)  15:00, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I have reworded the hook to address your concern. As for ALT1, how do you mean you can't verify it? You can't get to the source because you don't have Java enabled, or you can't find it in the source? Please clarify. Daniel Case (talk) 03:47, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I'd go with the original hook in its current wording. I wasn't able to find ALT1 in the source. --Jakob (talk)  12:55, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
 * It's on page 12 of the Damascus Historic District NRHP nomination, near the bottom. Daniel Case (talk) 05:02, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
 * That isn't the source that's given in the article. Anyway, I'd still lean towards the original hook, since that's more interesting. --Jakob (talk)  18:18, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Fine. I'll adjust the footnotes nonetheless. Daniel Case (talk) 05:55, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

✅ Now, if the promoter wants to use either hook, they can. Daniel Case (talk) 14:54, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg The first hook is 203 char. Yoninah (talk) 19:45, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Should be shorter now. Daniel Case (talk) 20:19, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks. Restoring tick. Yoninah (talk) 20:42, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
