Glen Springs[edit]

(

~~... that many residents of Gainesville, Florida are unaware that the once beloved recreation area, Glen Springs exists within the city limits?~~

... that the spring-fed pool at Glen Springs in Gainesville, Florida, was once used by Gators, but is now home to catfish that are owned by Elks? Mgrē@sŏn 01:09, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Length, date, hook's ref verified. All non-lead paragraphs have refs; all refs appear to be RS. Interesting hook; its length is fine. QPQ done. Gtg. --Rosiestep (talk) 01:54, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

- Returned from queue as the claim does not seem to pass muster (see WT:DYK) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:39, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Ok, let's change the key word to "many". Does that 'pass muster'? Mgrē@sŏn 14:05, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Returned from prep this time: until the discussion is settled and a formal approval is made, this should not be promoted again. In my opinion, any hook with the unsourced word "beloved" needs work, so I've struck it: if the general structure of it is kept in a new ALT, commas need to be inserted after both "Florida" and "Glen Springs".

Let's try this again. Mgrē@sŏn 15:53, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

It still seems to be essentially speculative: what people are aware of the existence of is impossible to ascertain unless there is a specific survey of awareness. It is an improvement on claiming that it is known that <50% know of the place, it could undoubtedly be claimed as true (some people might claim that 100 people is many people), but can it be verified? Source seems to be some sort of publicity material, therefore not essentially reliable. And it looks to be a place about which much more interesting things could be said than that some people don't know about it. Former Gator site filled with catfish by Elks.

I have composed a new hook based on your suggestion. How about it? Mgrē@sŏn 20:18, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

I'd suggest that it should have a capital G in Gators: it is a proper noun, and should be presented as such, and to do otherwise is to mislead. Kevin McE (talk) 22:55, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

No problem; done. Mgrē@sŏn 03:59, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

looks fine, well done. Kevin McE (talk) 06:08, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Questions have been addressed, good to go. Perhaps the tick was forgotten! -- Hillbillyholiday ^talk 20:47, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
