The article is new and long enough, there are no copyright concerns, the picture dates from the 19th century so clearly out of copyright, and the hook is interesting. However, the source given says it was an aqueduct, not a viaduct, and says it was "over a mile" in length, not just a mile. Can the hook be changed to reflect this? Additionally, why does the lead refer to the article subject as simply "Trinity" instead of "Trinity plantation"? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:11, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Ritchie333: Thanks, changed to aqueduct which is what I intended to type in the first place. I am open to alternative wordings on the hook. Plantation in the article title is a disambiguator. It could be in brackets I guess. The sources variously show Trinity, Trinity Plantation, and Trinity Estate, and that seems to be the case with other plantations too. In the historic sources they seem mainly to go just by the shortest possible name. Philafrenzy (talk) 17:43, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
- Okay, that's all resolved then. I'm not good with hooks, hopefully somebody will spot the nom and suggest one. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:45, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
