• ... that the Malagarasi-Muyovozi Wetlands, the world's third largest Ramsar Site, contains the rare fish species, Dark stonebasher, and over 50 indigenous fish species?

• Size, date and hook refs are fine, but I'd strongly suggest that the article is split into two: Malagarasi River and Malagarasi-Muyovozi Wetlands. Currently the hook suggests it's an article about wetlands, but the title is about a river, and the article itself seems to discuss both. I think both subjects are notable and the article should be split. The hook than can be modified to DYK two new articles. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 19:59, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

• Yup, the Malagarasi-Muyovozi Wetlands would make for a good stand alone article; I've redlinked it. As for this article, I've expanded it a bit, and here's ALT1: ... that local tribes have nicknamed the Malagarasi as "the river of bad spirits"? --Rosiestep (talk) 03:48, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

• ALT1 is better; I'd suggest linking what tribes and an article on their mythology. If they don't exist in Wikipedia, more redlinks... (through not in the hook). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 16:10, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
