Article new enough and long enough. Article is referenced and hook is sourced, with paywalled source taken agf. No policy issues were identified with the article. Does the source text use the word "surprisingly" for the 500yo date?--Kevmin § 21:58, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
- Yes although given the size of some more recent of these paleolakes one wonders if it's outdated. I will need to provide a QPQ beforehand, however. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 22:29, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
- I'd suggest removing the "surprisingly" to keep the article neutral, given the age of the source and the 60+ years of research that have happened since.--Kevmin § 22:47, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Kevmin: Done and added QPQ. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 18:54, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
