- ... that the artworks of I Witness Silwan (example pictured) cover more than 610 metres (2,000 ft) of walling?

- @Richard Nevell: I'll give this a full review, but on a first glance, the quote seems to directly contradict the hook, which gives a figure of "2,000 meters" instead (it should be 610 metres (2,000 ft)). Epicgenius (talk) 14:06, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
- Actually, I might as well review the whole thing now. Epicgenius (talk) 14:08, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

- @Epicgenius: I see what I did wrong, I got the order of the fields wrong in {{convert}} and didn't notice the result was wrong. Ironic since I wanted to flip the order the numbers were displayed in so that it started with metric. I've updated the hook so that it now uses the right figure, in line with the source and the Wikipedia article itself. Richard Nevell (talk) 18:06, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for the correction, I can definitely see how the error happened =)
Out of caution, I checked a few more sources and didn't see any other issues. This is good to go now. Epicgenius (talk) 19:11, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
