Hi Lightburst, review follows: article moved to mainspace on 10 September and exceeds minimum length; I am not familiar with the sources used but they appear to be reliable enough for the content; I didn't find any issue with overly close paraphrasing in a spotcheck on some of the sources; image source is no longer online but is a bot upload from a free image repository so ought to be fine; hooks mentioned in article and checkout to source cited, I prefer the simplicity of ALT0; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 14:43, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Lightburst, should the image be File:Devil's Doorway 1898.jpg? The caption says 1898, but there is a digital camera photo above it. Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 03:49, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rjjiii: Thanks for catching that error. I removed the 1898 date. I preferred this picture to the 1898 image in the article as this one looks a bit more ominous. Lightburst (talk) 16:22, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

Box: unsure if I have used the correct geography infobox. If anyone has a better idea please let me know or replace it. Lightburst (talk) 21:04, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
