 * ... that 4-Methylcyclohexanemethanol (chemical structure pictured) spilled into the Elk River in Charleston, West Virginia, upstream from the intake for tap water servicing up to 300,000 people?

 * Comment: This article details a current event, and as details emerge, I will try and keep the article as up to date and verifiably sourced as possible. Alternative hook ideas are more than welcome! -- Caponer (talk) 06:38, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Very well-written and interesting article. It is long enough and created in the last five days. It is inlined sourced extremely well.  It is neutrally written and there are no copyright violations that I can see. The hook is interesting and it is well sourced. It is good to go. I am One of Many (talk) 02:19, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I've added the chemical structure for 4-Methylcyclohexanemethanol to the hook. This image will need to be reviewed. -- Caponer (talk) 13:43, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg The copyright status is the file is fine (public domain). I have been thinking about this and given that I think the hook is fine and interesting, the image is ok and probably will draw attention to the article.  So, it is good to go with this change.

 * Symbol question.svg Removed from prep. Image is currently up for deletion. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:34, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I've inserted a free version of the structure for consideration (to the right of the one that's up for deletion). IMO, the second one would work fine for DYK. --Orlady (talk) 23:47, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
 * If this works for Crisco 1492, I would recommend putting this back in Prep 4, and switching Hangar Wood, which I just stuck in Prep 4, down to Prep 1. — Maile (talk) 00:04, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
