ALT! ... that the Canal des Pangalanes, on the east coast of Madagascar, is over 645 kilometres (400 miles) long? EEng (talk) 04:20, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
No, you ALT! Belle (talk) 10:55, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Expanded and enough and recently enough; no copyvio, close-paraphrasing or plagiarism; QPQ done; neutral. Hook cited but ALT! is also cited and better formulated. Pic is fine if a bit run of the mill. Cited throughout, though on a non-DYK eliminating note, some of the conclusions are a bit strained (the one line from a guide book on the oil refinery cited as evidence of the oil refinery polluting the area for example).
