Cima volcanic field
[edit]
Cinder cones in the Cima volcanic field
... that the Cima volcanic field (pictured), important in soil sciences, was last active about 15,000 years ago?

Surely something more exciting can be said about this volcanic field? Since volcanoes last being active hundreds or thousands of years ago is not exactly uncommon for volcanoes. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:15, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
- I think that the soil sciences thing is perhaps the most interesting aspect. That volcanic field is not really well known despite being active only 15,000 or so years ago, too. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 07:25, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
- As someone who has had a lifelong interest hook in volcanoes, frankly the currently proposed hook is boring, is not really of much interest to people interested in volcanology, and is not really that interesting to the average reader either. I read in the article that in prehistoric and even in historic times, petroglyphs were carved into the lava flows: perhaps that might work as a hook?

- To tell the truth, I was never particularly certain that this article would contain DYK worthy stuff. If we go for petroglyphs something like this "... that humans carved petroglyphs into the lava flows of the Cima volcanic field (pictured)?".

Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
- Other problems:
- I have a concern about the statement "Research in the field has been important in soil sciences and research in landscape development": in exactly what way? The article right now is vague on that matter.
| Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation |

Overall: 
This should be good to go once my concern above has been addressed. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:21, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
- Rewrote that a little. Frustrating thing is that while a lot of research has been published about soil development in the Cima field, there is little that explicitly acknowledges this. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 13:56, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks, but the article now has a typo. The phrase now says "The volcanic field has been the subject soil sciences"; shouldn't it be "The volcanic field has been the subject of soil sciences"? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 23:06, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, this should be good to go then. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:56, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
- Narutolivehinata5 Is this a good ALT hook? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:40, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
- ALT1 ... that humans carved petroglyphs into the lava flows of the Cima volcanic field (pictured)?

- It's already approved, see the above tick. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:22, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
- Narutolovehinata5, ALT1 was proposed two weeks after the tick was given, so it needs to be checked/reviewed separately. Can you please do that? Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:21, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
