Hālaliʻi Lake, Halulu Lake edit
( Back to T:TDYK )
( Article history links: )
- ... that despite being the smallest of the inhabited Hawaiian Islands, Niʻihau possess Hālaliʻi Lake and Halulu Lake, the largest lakes in the archipelago?
- ALT1:... that Hālaliʻi Lake, the largest intermittent lake in Hawaii, was once used for sugarcane cultivation?
- ALT2:... that mullets swim into Halulu Lake, the largest natural lake in Hawaii, through lava tubes and were formerly protected by a kapu?

- Comment: I am also down to just promoting as separate hooks (ALT1 and ALT2). Feel free to suggest others. There are also some common text between articles, just notify me what your final count of qualify characters are for each and I will add the remaining extra needed if it is not sufficient

The articles are long enough, new enough, and neutral. I could only check some of the sources, but I assume good faith on the offline references. The double article QPQ is complete. I think that the first hook is fine. SL93 (talk) 00:55, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
I don't think the original hook will do. The sizes of the lakes seem so unclear, and Halulu Lake ranks third in size according to its article, so that a hook related to the size feature seems unsatisfactory. Nor do I think two separate hooks for one DYK nomination are acceptable, but the mullet angle is interesting. What about something like:
- ALT3 ... that young mullets swim through lava tubes into Halulu Lake in the Hawaiian Islands, but have to be brought to Hālaliʻi Lake in barrels? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:37, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
