This is still a possibility for ITN, so the review should be put on hold until that's resolved. (Don't let that stop you completing the QPQ review though, Nathan121212; we won't hold it against you) Belle (talk) 15:42, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

@Belle: There may be a rule against ITN articles being posted on DYK, but no rule fore the opposite. Can you please try to get this through before it becomes an ITN entry (if). Nathan121212 (talk) 17:12, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
Why? So it can appear in two places simultaneously on the main page? Or am I missing your point? [sticks tongue out of corner of mouth in concentration] (it doesn't look like it is going to get posted on ITN anyway at the moment, so I don't think you need to fret too much).

Perhaps my plan of Main page domination was a bit ambitious. Not looking good for ITN right now. Nathan121212 (talk) 18:27, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

@Belle: Article has successfully failed ITN and is now eligible for DYK. Nathan121212 (talk) 18:39, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

@Belle: I will review this if there is no objection, please let me know. I made some fairly superficial edits in the early stages (a few corrections). I see Nathan credited me in the ITN nomination which was not necessary. I don't need the QPQ credit now but probably will soon enough. Helen Online 08:31, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
That's fine, be my guest. Belle (talk) 08:52, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

I have gone through the latest version of the article with a fine-tooth comb, done some copy editing and tightened up the references. Please note that some of the figures have been updated per the USGS website. The article is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, with an interesting sourced hook. Good to go.
