Trave[edit]
- ... that the Friends of Nature declared the River Trave Germany's 2016/17 Riverscape of the Year?
5x expanded by Bryanrutherford0 (talk). Self-nominated at 17:02, 15 April 2016 (UTC).
The expansion from 606 to 3289 bytes is long enough and new enough. The hook is interesting enough and properly sourced, although it should use an en-dash instead of a slash in the year. No issues with copied text found, and anyway this is unlikely because all the sources are in German. This appears to be the fifth nomination for the nominator, so no QPQ needed (it will be needed next time). However, the "in Lübeck" section is completely unsourced, and the "lower Trave" section is very badly sourced to a river-cruise advertisement that doesn't mention much of the content of the section. These need fixing before this can be DYK. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:19, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry for the delay in responding! I was able to find and add another source that specifically describes the three branches of the river in Lübeck and the concentration of sea ports north of the city, as well as the estuary and the peninsulas that frame the river's mouth. Does that seem adequate? -Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 18:27, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
I'm still unimpressed by the quality of the sourcing (why can't you find this material in books instead of resorting to travel-advertisement web sites?) but I think it now at least meets the minimal standards of DYK. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:17, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
