Hyperboreae Undae
- ... that the two distinct forms of the Martian dunes of Hyperboreae Undae (pictured) are seemingly incompatible with each other? Source and quote: "Hyperboreae Undae (HU), one of several dune fields surrounding the north polar plateau of Mars, Planum Boreum, has well known examples of coexisting barchanoid and linear type dunes and yardangs.

Template:Ping New, long enough, sourced, hook is sourced and checks out, neutral, and image is PD. Needs QPQ. Also, "seemingly incompatible" should be quoted, as it is taken directly from the article. Other than that (non-DYK), how about explaining why they are seemingly incompatible? --Usernameunique (talk) 23:04, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Template:U. Regarding the "seemingly incompatible" expression, I was aware that it is the same as the paper, but given the limitations of the technical terminology I left it as is, and also because for such a short and common description, there are no copyright problems. However, I would like to avoid quotes, as that would alter the meaning of the expression. Therefore, to bypass that, I will rephrase the hook. As far as explaining this in the hook, I think it is very technical and that would make the hook too long. Also, just posing the question without explaining why, at least in my opinion, would motivate the readers to read the article to find out why they are incompatible. You can reply to the ALT1 if you wish, even as I am attempting to do the QpQ. Thank you. Dr. K. 03:04, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
