Summer Lake Hot Springs edit
Summer Lake bathhouse
- ... that the Summer Lake Hot Springs bathhouse (pictured), built in 1928, is a timber and tin structure with a 15 feet (4.6 m) by 30 feet (9.1 m) bathing pool inside?
Source: An article in The Oregonian dated 22 February 2014 says: "Summer Lake Hot Springs … the timber and tin bathhouse was built in 1928…" Size of the pool comes from a report by the Oregon Institute of Technology (see p.9).

New enough, long enough, no serious policy problems evident. IMO the hook could be more "hooky." Reading through the article, one possibility that jumps out at me is ALT1 below. One thing, though: I don't have access to the sources used for this passage in the article. If you think ALT1 is worth considering, could you confirm that those sources do back up the claims (thousands of artifacts, horses, camels)? — Rhododendrites talk \\ 00:24, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
- ALT1 - ... that a thousand Native American artifacts have been found at the Summer Lake Hot Springs, as well as Pleistocene horse and camel fossils?
- I still favor original hook because it includes image, but ALT 1 is ok too. While I can’t grant access to subscription newspaper archives, here is text summary from sources that supports Alt 1. The 25 Apr 1959 Bend Bulletin article (Ref 22) says: "A bulldozer that ripped into a low broad mound at the Summer Lake Hot Springs near here struck a prehistoric jackpot of artifacts. The find has been described as one of the richest made in this region in many years. ... It is estimated that a thousand or more artifacts, including scores of fine arrowheads, have already been found in the area … Also, discovered ... were some fossil bones ... Some of the fossils were tentatively identified as those of Pleistocene horses and camels. ..."--Orygun (talk) 08:34, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
- IMO the photo works, but isn't remarkable enough that it merits going with a less interesting hook. That said, I'll just pass it with a stated weak preference and leave it up to the one who promotes it, I suppose? — Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:26, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
good to go. My preference is for ALT1. Nominator's preference is for the original hook with image. Both are supported/workable. Leaving it up to the promoting editor. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:26, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
