Six Springs Creek edit
- ... that Six Springs Creek was once described as "a catch basin for runoffs from a car wash, laundromat and malfunctioning septic tanks", but has since been designated a High-Quality Coldwater Fishery?

- Comment: The source for the quote apparently dates to 1984. If that's a problem, the hook can be adjusted.

- Given that the quote dates to 1984, the hook seems a bit misleading: do these problems still exist? If not, I'd suggest tweaking this to something like ... that Six Springs Creek was once described as "a catch basin for runoffs from a car wash, laundromat and malfunctioning septic tanks", but has since been designated a High-Quality Coldwater Fishery? Also, I can't see where in the reference the creek is described as being a "High-Quality Coldwater Fishery" - this term doesn't appear anywhere. Nick-D (talk) 00:20, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
- @Nick-D: I'm fine with your alternate version. "HQ-CWF" is short for High-Quality Coldwater Fishery. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 00:27, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
OK, I've tweaked the hook. I can't see the Google books reference for the hook, so I'm AGF on it. All the other DYK criteria are also met: the article is new enough, long enough, neutral, well referenced and (based on spot checks) free of plagiarism. This is good to go.
