- Interesting: -
To me the hook is a little lackluster: I found that the much more interesting fact is that the lake is made of two separate bodies of water, one less saline and more biodiverse than the other. Not a hard no, but I'd prefer to see a hook along those lines.
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
Article is very solid, well-written and well-sourced. My only reservations is with the hook. RunningOnBrains(talk) 21:27, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

- ALT1 ... that the endorheic salt lake Sebkha el Melah in Tunisia has two parts, the upper one pond-like and biodiverse and the lower one salt-encrusted and nearly devoid of vegetation?
- I like this hook better, and it is backed up by source [6]. I'm satisfied with the DYK submission! RunningOnBrains(talk) 18:08, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
