Pre-collisional Himalaya

[edit]
(

  • ... that pre-collisional Himalaya is the arrangement of the layers of rocks before the collision of India with Asia that formed the Himalaya?

  • This article was created by a student as part of an educational project. It is new enough and long enough. The hook refers to the subject of the article and does not have an inline citation, as is generally required by a DYK nomination, however I am prepared to accept that. The other DYK criteria seem to be met, the article is generally well-referenced, it is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:57, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but first read the whole thing through and gave it a copyedit for English grammar. I think the hook reads like a snake that's turning around and biting its tail. Since the hook fact is not cited or sourced, I suggest these alts:
  • ALT1: ... that attempts to describe the arrangement of the rock units of pre-collisional Himalaya and the relationship between them have met with controversy?
  • ALT2: ... that four models have been proposed to describe the arrangement of the rock units of pre-collisional Himalaya and the relationship between them, but none have received widespread acceptance? Yoninah (talk) 19:13, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
I am happy enough with the alt1 or alt2, but it is hard to find something hooky to say from the article that we can be sure is factual, and not just a reflection of lack of knowledge about the topic. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:07, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
True. The subject is very technical. Could another reviewer review the ALTs, please? Yoninah (talk) 13:42, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
Alt 2 isn't fully in the article. Alt 1 is in the intro but isn't cited. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 17:49, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
  • Adding an icon based on the above comments. Yoninah, Graeme Bartlett, is there anything that can be done to address the points ONUnicorn has made about the two ALT hooks? BlueMoonset (talk) 21:50, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
  • @ONUnicorn: Trying again:
  • ALT2a: ... that scientists have proposed four models to describe the arrangement of the layers of rock before the collision of India with Asia that formed the Himalayas? Yoninah (talk) 21:42, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
  • New reviewer needed to check ALT2a since prior reviewer hasn't responded in ten days. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:57, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
  • Alt2a is fully in the article (I am a new reviewer) Georgialh (talk) 04:20, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
