Comment - Gaius Cornelius, Pickett-Hamilton Fort (Fort as uppercase) already existed as a redirect to British_hardened_field_defences_of_World_War_II#Pickett-Hamilton_Fort. I just changed it to redirect to your new article. It appears by the lead in your article, that this is one and the same fort. Since you're an admin, did you want to move your article over the redirect? Whatever you do, do not move this DYK template to another name. The template is fine as it is; you could just adjust the link in the hook. BTW, awesome image, even more awesome in the article. I love it. — Maile (talk) 15:02, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
Maile66, that's great - thanks for your help. I am a little preoccupied with the inconsistent view of the .gif file. I sometimes see black bars on the left and right, but not always. Any suggestions to improve this would be very welcome. Gaius Cornelius (talk) 08:11, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
Actually, the .gif image seems to be reliable in IE, but not when viewed with Chrome. Gaius Cornelius (talk) 11:25, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
Answering my own questions: flushing my temporary files did the trick. Gaius Cornelius (talk) 11:45, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
