Jeddo Tunnel
[edit]
- ...
that the Jeddo Tunnel (outflow pictured) is the world's largest drainage tunnel?
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Adrian Schoolcraft
- Comment: ALT 1: ... that the Jeddo Tunnel (outflow pictured) contributes 90,000 pounds (41,000 kg) of acid per day to the Susquehanna River via the Little Nescopeck and Nescopeck Creeks?
Another comment: A picture would be great but I'm not sure where to find one.

- If you're looking for a picture, the one on this page, which you cite in your article, was created by the EPA and is therefore in the public domain. I know it's not really of the inside of the tunnels, but it's something at very least. Alternatively, you might do an archive search of old newspapers from around when the tunnel was constructed as they'll more likely than not be in the public domain.

- I've added the image to the hook, because why not? BobAmnertiopsis∴ChatMe! 03:25, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
The first hook is, at best, questionable because the claim of "world's largest" is sourced to a century-old document, and there's no telling whether something else bigger has been built since then. But the ALT hook is fine, well-sourced and everything else is OK. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 08:52, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
