Varda Viaduct

(

)

... that Varda Viaduct (pictured), an over 90 m (300 ft) high railway viaduct at Taurus Mountains, will be a shooting location of the next James Bond movie Skyfall?

Interesting article, interesting hook, long enough and thoroughly footnoted. The image licensing looks valid to me, and it's a very good image, even at 100px size. The creation date is Dec. 20, not Dec. 25, but that's still within the appropriate time frame, and anyway it was expanded more than 5x on the 25th. I don't read Turkish, but the sources seem readable enough via Google translate. My concern, though, is with the reliability of the main sources: how do adanadan.biz, 360derecetarsus.com, and especially hacikiri.com (which appears to be a web forum) meet WP:RS? Were there no published book or magazine article sources to be found for this information? —David Eppstein (talk) 06:36, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

The DYK guidelines say the date of the creation/expansion. I had taken the date of first expansion. I added some WP:RS refs now. The hook is well ref'ed anyway. CeeGee (talk) 10:55, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

I removed the questionable sources. The remaining sources (and the one you added) look reliable to me. The article is now adequately sourced (although some facts in it could use more sources) and the hook itself is also well sourced. I think it's good to go now. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:02, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
