• Comment: Main hook: new article by Tisquesusa (talk), Monserrate, Guadalupe Hill (5x) and Bolívar Square (3.5x) expanded and infoboxed. Animation newly created and uploaded in English (long and short) and Spanish (short for now) to Commons.

Created/expanded by Tisquesusa (talk). Self-nominated at 03:43, 19 January 2017 (UTC).

• The main article, Eastern Hills, qualifies for DYK as a new article. The hook facts are in the article and the article is neutral. I am unable to assess whether there are any copyright issues because of lack of access to the sources and the sources being in Spanish, but that is no problem. I am approving the original hook, but not the others, because describing where the sun rises is meaningless unless you state your location. The animation is very impressive and is appropriately licensed. @Tisquesusa:, do you want to add Guadalupe to the hook as in ALT4 where I have bolded it? This article qualifies for DYK because you have expanded it more than five-fold, but Monserrate and Bolívar Square do not because they was not sufficiently expanded. Adding Guadalupe to the hook will give you DYKs for two articles, and both will be able to be submitted for points in the WikiCup. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:14, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

• ALT4... that seen from Bolívar Square, Bogotá, at the solstices of June and December, the Sun rises exactly over respectively Monserrate and Guadalupe, (animation pictured) the two best known Eastern Hills?

Length, Date, QPQ exempt, and Earwigs check. Offline and foreign language refs accepted AGF. Animation is freely licensed and is a derivative of other freely licensed work. Double hook ALT4 approved. Mifter (talk) 19:08, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

• I'm sorry, all those clauses in ALT4 make it very hard to follow. Could you state the hook more straightforwardly? Yoninah (talk) 22:34, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

• @Yoninah:, how about

• ALT4A ... that seen at the solstices from Bolívar Square, Bogotá, the Sun rises exactly over Monserrate and Guadalupe (animation pictured), the two best known Eastern Hills? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:10, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

• Thank you, Cwmhiraeth. Restoring tick for ALT4A per Mifter's review. Yoninah (talk) 17:39, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
