 * Pictogram voting keep.svgPictogram voting keep.svg on both lengths, offline sources accepted in good faiths, and ages of articles. Only query is hook for bridge Symbol question.svg - I can't visualise what it means, does this mean a flat bridge instead of a bowed one? Casliber (talk · contribs) 08:20, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, I struggled with this wording; originally it was "flat" and I changed it (I found both terms in the sources), so I think I got it wrong! Would you prefer to change "horizontal" to "flat" — that would be OK by me. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 09:17, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah I think "flat" works better. Casliber (talk · contribs) 10:48, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Amended. And do you think Skerton Bridge001.jpg would be a better image? --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 14:27, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * That looks a bit tiny, but does capture the essence of what the hook is trying to get across...happy with either one really. Casliber (talk · contribs) 19:12, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
