 * 16px Hello! This article was promoted to GA and the DYK followed within two days, so it meets the "New" criteria. Its length is more than sufficient and the hook is sourced with a scientific paper that is certainly a RS. I checked for paraphrasing and most coincidences seem to be around the volume and altitude measurements, which can't really be reworded in many ways. No obvious policy violations were noticed. The hook format is nominal, but the content may need some rewording. Most of the public doesn't know why these iron rich flows are special (most of the public doesn't even know what is in regular lava flows), the article in question mentions that they are "enigmatic" and to make the hook interesting, that should be noted in it. Everything else is ready. Old School WWC Fan (talk) 23:45, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Everything is good to go with the new hook. Old School WWC Fan (talk) 10:02, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Per Did you know 3. Cited hook: The fact(s) mentioned in the hook must be cited in the article. The word "enigmatic" appears in the lead without an inline cite, so ALT1 is not yet ready to go. Perhaps the page creator wishes to quote the cited part about it being unique in the world.

 * There is a section devoted to its possible origins and several references (2, 13, 23, 24, 25 and 26) that discuss several hypotheses, words like "supporting" and "suggest" imply that there is not a definitive theory. I assumed that its origin being unclear was self-evident from the cited prose, which is what "enigmatic" would mean. Something can be of unknown characteristics or origins without being unique in the world. Old School WWC Fan (talk) 00:46, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I've added the "enigmatic" explicitly to the article, in the "origin" section.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 08:35, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Thanks, Jo-Jo Eumerus. Offline hook ref AGF and cited inline. Restoring tick per Old School WWC Fan's review. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 14:12, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
