Review: This newly created self-nominated article is long enough with cites throughout. It has a nicely "hooky" hook at 111 characters; however the hook is not explicitly given in the text, nor is there the requisite cite at the end of the hook's sentence.- Random checks for copyright vio reveal only downstream duplications (i.e., copies of this article). QPQ checks out. The article is NPOV. There is no BLP involved. With some textual rewrite to accommodate the hook, this article should be GTG.Georgejdorner (talk) 18:49, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
- The relevant sentence in the article (which has an inline citation to a reliable source) starts "Its depth range is from about 3,340 to 5,800 metres (10,960 to 19,030 ft),". Now 3340 metres is about two miles and 5800 metres is about 3.3 miles, and I think several miles is a reasonable way of stating this. However, we could instead have:
