Article is new enough (translated articles are eligible) and long enough. ALT hooks are a little boring, the main one is misleading as dropping someone in the sea is not "burying". I think there is a maintenance template and the coordinate map seems to have some kind of problem. I can't speak French nor access most of the sources but I can verify some of the sources. Source #8 and #9 appear to be broken. Didn't see any copyvio or plagiarism, dropping a few sentences into Google yielded nothing untoward. QPQ exemption is in effect.

Thank you for the feedback! I will try to resolve these issues as soon as possible. 🐶 EpicPupper ^{(he/him | talk)} 18:55, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hiya! I've fixed the link for source #8. Source #9 seems to be permanently dead. ALT3 added to fix inaccuracy in main hook. Orphan template removed. Coordinate map fixed. Thanks! 🐶 EpicPupper ^{(he/him | talk)} 08:20, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not so sure that you want to use a downloading link nor a permanently broken one, myself - is there another GEBCO source? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 12:37, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@EpicPupper: Wanted to make sure you saw this suggestion from the reviewer. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:12, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the ping! This is on my radar. I'll address these soon, a bit busy with Signpost stuff right now. 🐶 EpicPupper ^{(he/him | talk)} 18:38, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jo-Jo Eumerus, fixed! 🐶 EpicPupper ^{(he/him | talk)} 03:33, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

15 to 25 kilometers long ?

According to the coordinates and as you can see on https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/gazetteer/, it is much longer, about 200 to 250 kilometres. Vergessenes Wissen (talk) 09:05, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
