Postville on Kaipokok Bay, 1977

- Comment: I realize that this is not an overly exciting hook, but places in remote corners of the world usually don't have a lot of excitement in the first place. DYK provides them practically the only opportunity for some exposure on WP.

5x expanded by P199 (talk). Self-nominated at 16:08, 30 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Kaipokok Bay; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

The article’s readable prose was expanded 5 fold in the last 7 days. It hasn't been featured on the Main Page's In the news section and hasn't previously appeared as a "qualifying article" in an earlier DYK. It contains at least 1,500 characters of readable prose and is not a stub. The hook fact(s) is stated in the article, and is immediately followed by an inline citation to a reliable source. The article in general uses inline cited sources. Sources are properly labelled in a references section and the references do not have bare URLs. The article contains no dispute templates. The article does not violate Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living people. The article does not contain plagiarism or close paraphrasing. The article deals with the subject in a neutral manner. The hook is properly formatted and is shorter than about 200 characters. The hook does not have neutrality problems or undue emphasis on a negative aspect of a living individual. The hook does not contain a redlink The image appears to be ok copyright wise (the flickr poster included an extensive commentary on how they took it). Hook not the most interesting but will do.©Geni (talk) 22:36, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
