Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/November 29, 2018

(Copied from Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/November 2018, where I had originally posted this, per Dank's suggestion that I do so since those pages are primarily for housekeeping requests far less substantive than this). Daniel Case (talk) 19:56, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

This would be a much better image

As flattered as I am that another picture I've taken has been chosen to illustrate a Main Page featured article, I question how relevant it really is.

The Kingston–Rhinecliff Bridge, pictured, carries New York State Route 199, and only that highway, across the Hudson. It has never carried NY 308; its relevance to the article is tangential at best (the bridge's completion resulted in the highway being truncated to its current western terminus at US 9 in Rhinebeck from the former ferry landing in Rhinecliff.

For a replacement image, I suggest the one I posted here. Frankly, the article's illustrations need to be rethought. We have three pictures of sections of the road in Rhinebeck near US 9 and none of the portions west of the village to the town line where it ends at NY 199 at Rock City. I can (and should) put that in the article, and in fact since I (at the moment) get up to that vicinity there on a weekly basis I could easily take another (possibly better) picture, much like I did this past summer for New York State Route 22 before its FA turn.

Thanks Daniel. Thoughts, Julian? - Dank (push to talk) 20:16, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Thoughts, anyone? Pinging Daniel Case, Julian, Ealdgyth, David Levy. - Dank (push to talk) 01:10, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

With no discussion on this in the last two weeks, I have put the image in the article and now in the blurb. Daniel Case (talk) 22:15, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. I lived in Duchess County for almost 3 years as a kid ... that picture takes me back! - Dank (push to talk) 22:35, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
