Climate zones on Pluto

(
)

Created by A. Emraan (talk). Nominated by Fishal (talk) at 17:12, 11 April 2020 (UTC).

  • The article is new enough and long enough. All the images are appropriately licensed. The nominator has only one QPQ credit to date, so a QPQ is not obligatory. The hook has an inline citation to a peer-reviewed journal article (also available here). There are, however, concerns about close paraphrasing. For example, compare how the article says The polar zone of the Pluto is the areas where the Sun never reaches the zenith or overhead point at any time of the orbital period and Table 1 in the linked source, which defines the polar zone as the area where the Sun never reaches the overhead point at any time during orbital year. In fact, much of the article appears to be an expansion of Table 1 into prose. I know that sometimes it seems like there just aren't many different ways to report flat scientific facts, but this needs at least another going-over before it is ready for the spotlight. If improved, however, it would be suitable for DYK, perhaps with a catchier hook like, ... that technically, most of Pluto is tropical? XOR'easter (talk) 22:53, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Marking this as officially maybe. XOR'easter (talk) 20:03, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Marking for closure per nominator Fishal, who when queried on their talk page on May 15, replied on mine on May 16: I will look at it today or tomorrow. If I don't get to it by Monday, I probably never will, and I wouldn't object to closing it then. It now being a few minutes before the end of Tuesday, I'm posting the icon for closure now. (The article was written as part of a course, and that editor hasn't been on Wikipedia since then, over a month ago.) BlueMoonset (talk) 23:53, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
BlueMoonset, I can take over for the student, I'll get to this later today. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:12, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
BlueMoonset I have gone over the article and made some adjustments. Here are some alt hooks:
Let me know what you think. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:43, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Elysia (Wiki Ed), thanks for the article edits and new hook proposals (which I have labeled). XOR'easter, as you're the reviewer here, have the edits addressed the issues you found, and are the two new ALT hooks more to your taste? Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:08, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
  • It looks good to me. Both hooks seem fine; I like ALT1 more. XOR'easter (talk) 14:17, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
  • XOR'easter, if all issues have been settled, then please finish your review with the appropriate tick icon. If any remain, let us know. Many thanks. If you don't approve of any of the hooks, please strike them. (I agree that ALT1 is more interesting.) BlueMoonset (talk) 19:35, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Adequately edited now. Both ALT1 and ALT2 look acceptable, while ALT1 is catchier. XOR'easter (talk) 14:22, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
