- Comment: Article was created from work done at User:RightCowLeftCoast/Sandbox/Goat Canyon (Tijuana River Valley) on 16 April. It has 24,931 characters of prose in 1,611 words. It is well verified with over 50 reliable sources utilized. I have not been able to find an image that well represents the subject, and may need to later travel to the area to take pictures, although the area is slightly restricted due to United States Border Patrol activity. QPQ was done here. ECD found that the highest rating was 10.7%, therefore copyvio is unlikely.

Would it be too late to add an image for this DYK? If not there is a Category on Commons which we can utilize for sourcing (many of the photos which were taken this month (April 2018)).For instance there is this one:
- RightCowLeftCoast, you can add any licensed free image that also appears in the article. (If it isn't in the article, it can't be used in a DYK nomination, though crops of article images can be used at DYK.) BlueMoonset (talk) 14:03, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Image eligibility:
- Freely licensed:
- Used in article:
- Clear at 100px:
- The picture used seems a bit blurry; I think the hook might have to proceed without the image
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
Other than the image, the article meets all the DYK requirements, so this is still good to go. I don't have a preference for any particular hook so I'll leave it to the promoter, but I'm somewhat partial to ALT4. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:55, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: there are a number of images I also took in the canyon see commons:Category:Goat Canyon where there maybe an acceptable image. Blurry? Perhaps it's cause of the color of the dirt or that there is a freeway traversing the canyon, or that they were emptying out the sediment basin that day.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 05:25, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
