Elephant of the Bastille

  • Some more references are needed and will hopefully be added shortly. violet/riga [talk] 18:03, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
  • Done a few - shame that most of the available information is in French though. violet/riga [talk] 19:20, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
  • Age, length neutrality OK. Sources mostly OK although there seems to be a personal blog and a travel site in there. No copyvio, plagiarism or close paraphasing. Hook and picture are OK. I prefer ALT1 as there is no citation for the 78 foot height in the article and that claim seems to come from one of the least reliable of the sources. Ready to go unless a review is owed.

  • I've added two more references including one that supports the first hook. violet/riga [talk] 00:51, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
