- ALT1:... that Swiss civil engineer Jürg Conzett designed a prefabricated footbridge moved into place by Switzerland's most powerful helicopter? Source: "Because of the remote location, the substructure of the bridge was prefabricated and flown to its destination in what was then the most powerful helicopter in Switzerland."; translated from the original German: "Wegen der abgelegenen Lage wurde der Unterbau der Brücke vorgefertigt und mit dem damals stärksten Helikopter der Schweiz an seinen Bestimmungsort geflogen."

This article is new enough and long enough. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Neither hook is satisfactory. The first one makes it sound as if the bridge collapsed because of a structural fault, and needs to mention the rock slide. ALT1 contains facts not mentioned in the article, and this is a requirement for DYK. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:04, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Cwmhiraeth: fair enough - sometimes my excitement for hooky hooks gets the better of me. I edited the article to include the sourced information for ALT1 directly so that should be resolved. As far as ALT0 goes how about the simple alteration (though this now makes ALT1 my favorite):
ALT0b: ... that Swiss civil engineer Jürg Conzett designed a footbridge that collapsed in a rockslide after three years of use? Hportfacts5 (talk) 14:29, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, that is fine. Approving ALT0b and ALT1. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:48, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hportfacts5: you are not required to submit a QPQ review as you have less than 5 DYK credits. What you submitted is not a QPQ as it does not cover the five main DYK criteria. The nominator of that article has been left with no idea how to improve it. Yoninah (talk) 00:21, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
