Tangascootack Creek
[edit]- ... that the daily load of manganese in Tangascootack Creek is 101 times higher than the maximum load allowable by the Environmental Protection Agency?

Date, length, quality all check out. Hook checks out, though as a reviewer who does not specialise in scientific subjects I was slow to realise that the allowable load per day (3.2) was right there in the table (see citation 9) close to the actual daily load referred to in the hook and specified in the article (322.9). Although the following request is not strictly necessary for DYK assessment, please could I ask you to put the 3.2 into the article text to help us check out the hook easily? It's an excellent, impressive and complex article and worth a DYK, I think, so please make this bit easy for us.--Storye book (talk) 20:38, 8 January 2014 (UTC)- Note: I've linked "Environmental Protection Agency" in your hook, and you need to sort out the redirect for same link in your article. "Strip mine" is a redirect. "Gorge" links to disambig. "Farrandsville", "aluminum", "sports camp" and "residential", "iron pyrite", "river channel," "sinuous", "fireclay" are redirects. I've checked links down as far as the History subheading; no doubt you can check the rest. If you don't know how to do this, here is an example: [[Aluminium|aluminum]]. If you cannot already spot redirects by hovering your mouse over a Wikilink, go into Preferences and select the tool - it saves a lot of time (Prefs - gadgets - browsing - navigation popups).--Storye book (talk) 20:38, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
- @Storye book: I put the 3.2 figure into the article, but I don't think the redirects need to be fixed per WP:NOTBROKEN. --Jakob (talk) 00:27, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks. But what about the disambig link ("gorge")? --Storye book (talk) 07:02, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
- @Storye book: Gorge isn't a disambiguation page. But I fixed the redirect. --Jakob (talk) 12:29, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you. Good to go.--Storye book (talk) 13:04, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
