  • Comment: Since this seems to have changed in the few years I've been quasi-mostly-on-Wikibreak: I've erred on the side of "yes" here, but are QPQs required now for non-self nominations?

Comment: I would make the hook more specific, something like: ... that the Temagami Iron Range hosts jasper and iron past Turtle and Snake Island lakes?. Note when snakes and turtles are not capitalized you are referring to the animals, not the names of lakes. Proper names are capitalized. And as far as I'm aware of nobody calls these lakes Turtles and Snakes. Volcanoguy 03:00, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
The idea was to make an amusing-sounding hook - the Wiki-positive version of clickbait, so to speak. - The Bushranger One ping only 03:39, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
Okay then. Volcanoguy 05:06, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
New enough (from the nom), long enough, hook cited (2), well cited generally and the image is self-work. I like the hook. I would like it if you could replace "linear trend" with something less jargony though, I assume "trend" is a geology term that means something easily explained?

@Maury Markowitz: replaced "linear trend" with "elongated area". Volcanoguy 04:31, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
