- There are several other images in the article which might be interesting as an image hook – if the reviewer thinks the engraving of the Roman columns is more interesting than the photograph, then we could go with that one. Alternatively, perhaps a hook could be made about the theater tower, which has a heap of cool photos on Commons. Toadspike [Talk] 15:51, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- A way to phrase "meters above sea level" more concisely would be appreciated. Toadspike [Talk] 15:52, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
New enough (expanded Dec 31), long enough (1100 B → 8800 B), no copyvio (Earwig says 10.7%, and all paraphrasing seems fine), well-sourced. Both hooks verified in source, but ALT0 is much more interesting. Image is free and clearly depicts a column on a mountain. I think this photo is better than the older illustration. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 23:32, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
