Comment: Expansion began on April 6th.

ALT 1 ... that 62 railway workers died after an avalanche in Canada's Glacier National Park?
ALT 2 ... that Canada's Glacier National Park contains moonmilk?

Article was 3,956 before April 6th and it is now more than 5× expanded at 20K characters. Even though this was nominated a tad late (3 days), I understand this is a significant expansion that is undoubtedly very time-consuming. Therefore, I will invoke D9, which says a "nominated article may still be approved if it was created or expanded after the oldest date listed in T:TDYK." All three hooks (main to Alt 2) are under the 200 character limit (at 109, 76 and 53 characters, respectively). Any of them will do for the final hook. However, I don't really understand the ALT 1 hook. I'm assuming that it's suppose to read "62 railway workers died." Refs 7 (book; for main), 11 (NYT; for ALT1) and 26 (Canadian encyclopedia; for ALT2) are all reliable (for the latter online two) or AGF (for book ref). Article is well-sourced. The only thing left missing is a QPQ. Once that is done, I will give the tick. —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:39, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

QPQ done, ALT 1 fixed. Thanks for the review, Bloom. The Interior (Talk) 18:26, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

You're welcome. Looks good to go! First tick is for the online sources in the ALT hooks, while the second AGF tick is for book source of the main hook. —Bloom6132 (talk) 02:14, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
