KGirlTrucker81huh? what I've been doing 03:43, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Schielands Hoge Zeedijk
CeHo, there's some problems with the article, but I think they can be fixed. declined moving it to mainspace; if I had to guess it's not so much because of lack of apparent notability, but because it is very, very difficult to judge exactly what it is. For instance, "Oudedijk" points to a Dutch dab page ("doorverwijspagina") but none of the entries seem to be for that particular dike. My advice to you is to a. edit the article and change its name to Schielands Hoge Zeedijk, the name under which it's linked in the Dutch wiki (nl:Schielands Hoge Zeedijk) and deal with nomenclature issues in the article (besides, there's a Hoogendijk in any city in the west of the country, including in Amsterdam and in my hometown); and b. to find the proper sources (books etc.) rather than pictures such as this one. There is no doubt that the dike itself is notable. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 16:17, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

CeHo!!234 (talk) 00:36, 7 January 2017 (UTC)Drmies, thanks for the suggestions! Much appreciated. As a new user I have to get used to the logic from Wikipedia when it comes to automatic suggestions for references. Has been corrected now to the right 'Oudedike' :-) . I however cannot follow the suggestion to change the name into Schielands Hoge Zeedijk because that is a more recent name. To find proper - old - sources is quite hard since the dike is quite old. An old map could do the trick BUT I cannot add that as a picture due to the copyright question. Maybe meanwhile KGirlTrucker81 is preparing for a second review now the article has been upgraded significantly compared to the first version. Regards.
