GA review (see here for criteria)

---

Disamb. links and external links check out. I have made a few minor edits, see if you agree with them.

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   "Besides the Wheeling Suspension Bridge, the Fort Henry Bridge is the only land connection from Wheeling Island to mainland West Virginia." Perhaps "land connection" is a term of art. I have seen fixed connection (i.e., not a ferry) or road connection, but some readers may not consider a bridge or tunnel to be a land connection. ???

   Used fixed connection. --Admrboltz (talk) 20:20, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

   "named after Fort Henry,"->"named after nearby Fort Henry, "

   Well Fort Henry doesn't exist anymore, Wheeling is built over the fort. --Admrboltz (talk) 20:20, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

   "to heavy flooding along the Ohio River" ->"to barges breaking loose during heavy flooding along the Ohio River" - the water did not threaten a bridge this high, it was the barges.

    Done --Admrboltz (talk) 20:20, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   Is it accurate to use the cite map template for fn. 3? I would use cite web.

   It is a map technically, its a straight line diagram, which is a map. --Admrboltz (talk) 20:20, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

3. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   I think everything was resolved on Jan. 29.

4. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

5. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   Nice photo which checks out.

6. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   I am placing the article on hold.

Thank you on your quick response. If you go on to FAC, you may want to explain to the reader the relationship between historic site of Ft. Henry and the bridge. Good work. Congratulatons. Racepacket (talk) 21:04, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
