Hunkydory Creek[edit]
- ... that Hunkydory Creek has the lowest gradient of any tributary of Catawissa Creek, 5.2 meters per kilometer?
- ALT1: ... that in 1990, the watershed of Hunkydory Creek had the highest population density of any sub-watershed in the Catawissa Creek drainage basin, 238 people per square kilometer?

- Comment: Both hooks can be verified on the chart of page 46-47 of the source. Note about the original hook: while Scotch Run has a slightly lower gradient for part of its length, the rest of its length has a much higher gradient than Hunkydory Creek.

Article length ok; article age ok; article has appropriate citations; article is neutral; spot check reveals no blatant plagiarism. Hooks are neutral. My only issue with the first suggested hook is that, from the cited source (if I'm reading it right), it appears that Hunkydory Creek is one of only three tributaries to Catawissa Creek, so the fact that it has the lowest gradient is not especially remarkable. Also, with either hook, I'd add the context that the creek is in Pennsylvania. —Swpbtalk 17:31, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
- @Swpb: Hi and thanks for the review. I'm not sure what makes you think that Catawissa Creek has only three tributaries. It actually has 27 (of which 19 are direct tributaries). See List of tributaries of Catawissa Creek. --Jakob (talk) 18:00, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
- From page 45 of the source, it looks like Catawissa is the confluence of Hunkydory and an unnamed creek, and is later joined by Tomhicken Creek. But I'll take it on good faith that you're right; no need to have this DYK hung up on my inability to parse a government report. —Swpbtalk 18:06, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
