  • Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Template:Ping you should provide a review that explicitly confirms that the five main DYK criteria have been met. The nominator has more than 5 DYKs, so he should submit a QPQ. I also think the hook is too clunky and should be shortened to something like:

  • If it said "...hundreds of kayativists came out..." it would still only be 165 characters, well within limits. The visual impact[1] of all those boats was part of the reason for the press attention (still looking for a free image of that). --Dennis Bratland (talk) 03:22, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
