  •   Comment I haven't performed a full review yet. There are a lot of competitors, but showing the (leaded?) pipe in the foreground is pretty valuable. Categorization should be improved, though. --Eusebius (talk) 21:56, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not sure it is a leaded pipe, the aqueduct was finished at the begining of the 17th century. What more cateogories do you have in mind? Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:27, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm sure there are categories more precise than "aqueduct", with respect to location and period. But now that I know the century, I can probably do it myself... (and I'm pretty sure there were leaded water conducts both before and after 17th century) --Eusebius (talk) 07:48, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Comment It's really difficult to choose. Aqueducts have been built at very different periods, in different styles, and have different aspects (not only bridges are typical, but also the syphons, for instance -- I know a nice Roman syphon in my region, but we don't have a picture of it). Among the impressive bridges, I can think of the Roman aqueducts of the Pont du Gard or of Segovia, but there are many more (I didn't know this more recent one). In short, I cannot choose. --Eusebius (talk) 22:33, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Oppose I agree with Eusebius, the scope is so broad that you are bound to be biased by your personal preferences. For example, I once saw the viaduct in Segovia, and perhaps due to the special memories I have from that visit, I personally prefer File:AcueductoSegovia edit1.jpg over this one. Consider to narrow down the scope a little, and I will reconsider, because it is really a good photo, especially the pipe parts as that is not seen on most other images of viaducts here. For such a general scope I would prefer a generic scheme illustrating the basic elements in a viaduct, see, e.g., the VIC for a CD, which is much better at illustrating the scope than any photograph. --Slaunger (talk) 21:49, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Comment I agree that a VI scope limited to this bridge would probably be ok (I haven't reviewed all pictures of this bridge, though). I think that there could also be a scope for "Aqueduct", but I don't know which picture would fit it best. --Eusebius (talk) 22:44, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
