Ouki

[edit]
  • ... that Ouki may have flooded parts of the Altiplano in the past?
  • Reviewed: Mark Callahan
  • Comment: Aimed at a somewhat interestingly worded but still accurate hook. Reviewers should take note on WP:WEIGHT given that some aspects of this lake's existence and where exactly it existed are controversial.

  • ALT1 ... that parts of the Altiplano may have been covered by the lake Ouki in the past?
  • Article is new enough, and big enough. Fully referenced and balanced in presentation. QPQ performed. Earwig's checker can't cope with reference format, bu separate check finds no violations. Hook formatted correctly, links to article, and is short enough. Hook is not really in article as it does not call this "flooded". Similarly the potential reference, Baker & Fritz 2015, p. 40 (could also be p41) does not call this flooding, instead it uses verbs like persist and exist (or attributed). With the crackdown on hooks I can't let you get away with "flooded"! So please propose a new hook. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:07, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

  • the hook ALT1 is short enough at 80 characters, and more supported by the reference. So OK with ALT1 Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:19, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
