Eclipse[edit]

SounderBruce and Cwmhiraeth, please check whether my edit affects the DYK nom, now at Prep 6. --Paul_012 (talk) 06:16, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Paul 012: Seems OK to me. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:35, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Paul 012: According to the source, Cooke claimed that "“exceptionally high tides and currents coinciding with this week’s solar eclipse” caused the damage. That doesn't seen to imply a cause and effect relationship between the eclipse and high tides, as claimed by Cooke.[1] Fraenir (talk) 06:55, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've adjusted the wording. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:46, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
