Ceintures de Lyon
[edit]- ... that the construction of the Ceintures de Lyon was motivated by fear of an Austrian invasion? Source: "Parmi les adversaires potentiels : l’Autriche. Lyon se situe sur les voies d’invasion possibles, provenant du Tyrol et de la Lombardie. Rohault de Fleury est nommé directeur des fortifications de Lyon en 1830 pour édifier une zone fortifiée." (Sous la menace de l’Autriche)

The English version of this article is new enough, long enough, and neutrally written. The hook is an acceptable length, and it is supported by citations in the article. QPQ is complete. However, some unreferenced sections of the article need citations to show the reader what source supports the text. Something that slowed me down was that the majority of the article is directly translated from the French version, fr:Ceintures de Lyon, so I took a look at the guideline about WP:Close paraphrasing which says that straight statements of fact can be translated without worrying about close paraphrasing of the original, but that unique constructions of prose should not be included as a direct translation.

After adding some more references, I think the article is ready. Binksternet (talk) 00:24, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
