 * Comment to Promoter - Can the rolling lift bridge animation "Gif" picture be used as # 1 in the queue. Thanks. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:19, 30 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Lots of refs including one that supports the hook. Lengths are fine. I think animated gifs are great for this and they make a change from another head shot. I added some text to explain how the bridge works. Neutral and I saw no close paraphrasing but pay walls stopped me on some sources. Nice little article. Thanks Victuallers (talk) 14:21, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
 * In the interests of brevity, I've added a more concise ALT1. Edwardx (talk) 22:29, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
 * As originator of hook I have struck original, as I like ALT1 better. Thanks Edwardx.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 22:40, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
