Daecheong Dam edit
Daecheong Dam Reservoir
... that the Daecheong Dam (pictured), a combination of concrete cum embankment sections on the Geum River, north of Daejeon in South Korea provides multi-purpose benefits ?
5x expanded by Nvvchar (talk). Self-nominated at 05:31, 1 December 2015 (UTC).
(Cursory ping for Nvvchar): A definite 5x expansion, plenty of sources which all look pretty good to me. QPQ is done, image is nice. My issue is with the hook—it's dull, and nowhere in the article does it say the dam is a "combination of concrete cum embankment sections" (I don't actually know what this means). Will offer the below instead. — foxj 09:33, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
- ALT1: ... that the hydrology of the Daecheong Dam (pictured), on the Geum River in South Korea, is influenced by seasonal monsoons?
- Will also say that a lot of the article is very technical, and could use further explanation to help newcomers understand it. Sentences like Organic matter loading (as chemical oxygen demand, COD, Mn) in the lake is about 78.3% during heavy rainfall season, from June to September. are very hard to work out. — foxj 09:41, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
New reviewer needed, since previous reviewer has supplied the sole remaining hook. Earlier issues raised about insufficient explanation should be checked. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:28, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
Long enough, new enough, QPQ done. Hook (ALT1) is compliant and cited (if a little unsurprising). No copyvio or other policy issues found. I have a couple of other comments not directly related to DYK requirements. The article has "episodic (infrequent)". There is no need to gloss a perfectly ordinary word; and even if "episodic" is felt to be difficult, the solution is to simply replace it with "infrequent". The word dendentric is redlinked. I'm not convinced this is a real word, surely dendritic is meant? We have a redirect from dendritic that goes to an entirely irrelevant article, but the word has the required meaning as a word.
