The prose is long enough and is 5xed within the determined period. No copyvio was observed. The hook is interesting but I need to know which of the sources support the portion regarding the rating? --Mhhossein ^talk 18:41, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Mhhossein: thanks for reviewing my DYK. The ratings come from Refence #3 - Hap Wilson's book Temagami canoe routes, page 23. Regards, - P 1 9 9 ✉ 18:46, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome P199. Ah, OK. Is "outstanding" some sort of designation? If so, can you present one more source making such a designation? --Mhhossein ^talk 02:33, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

See the small print after the hook above. The phrase "outstanding recreational water route" is taken from Ref. #6 (Crown Land Use Policy Atlas). This is not a designation but a descriptive term. Regards. P 1 9 9 ✉ 12:59, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@P199: Thanks, but please let me know if there is another RS making such a description. Thanks. --Mhhossein ^talk 06:17, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Mhhossein: The Crown Land Use Policy Atlas clearly passes as a RS. Why is another one needed? But if really necessary: Ref #5 (Temagami River Provincial Park Management Statement) also says that its "purpose ... is to protect outstanding recreational water routes". -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 12:56, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, "outstanding" qualifier needs more than one source, I believe. Good to go with the original hook. --Mhhossein ^talk 16:46, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
