Nancy Lake State Recreation Area[edit]
- ... that the many lakes in the Nancy Lake State Recreation Area were created by the withdraw of glaciers 9,000 years ago...? “When the ice retreated some 9,000 years ago, it left a rolling landscape of elongated glacial deposits, called drumlins, dotted with hundreds of lakes and ponds.”
- ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)

- Copyvio looks good. New enough. Long enough. References appear to be reliable. Need to fill out the citations more fully. Add author/agency, which is missing for three of them, and add access dates for everything besides the book, since if/when these need to be archived, it will allow the archiver to point to the exact version of the page that was cited. Last sentence, first para under Facilities either needs a citation, or needs to be moved behind the citation if that is what is intended to cover the sentence. GMGtalk 19:14, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
- I’m gonna go ahead and admit here that I suck at citing things. As you can see I still basically do it the way it was done a decade ago. I did add that missing cite for the canoe vendor. I don’t think it is accurate to say that any one person is the author of The Milepost, I think when I have cited it before I used Morris Communications as the author because it is a team of people who work for them that research and update it each year, but I’m not sure how to make that change inside the citation template youa re using, because again, I suck at that.

- I'll look to try to fix it tomorrow morning. The cite template I added was an automatically generated one, which pulls information as it's entered into Google Books. So it doesn't always hit the mark. Not a bad article though. Park articles are among my favorite. Would be nice to know more information about when it was established (nothing to do with DYK though).

- I’m working pretty much alone on a project detailed at Talk:List of Alaska state parks to improve coverage of the many parks up here, and oddly I have found scant information on park establishment dates in most cases. Being one of the younger state park systems in the US I would’ve expected such data to be easy to find. It may have to do with the fact that many of these parks were already established as protected areas by the BLM or other agencies before the formal state park system came into being in 1970.
