Hart Lake (Oregon)

 * ... that before a drought caused Hart Lake (pictured) to dry up, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service captured and relocated rare Warner suckers, re-introducing them when water returned to the lake?
 * Comment: Hook source is from reference 18, see pp. 32-33. Also note, original wiki-page was created in 2009, but it was not an article…it was a re-direct link to Warner Lakes article.  First edition of Hart Lake article was created on 28 Sep 13.

 * FYI, hook source isn’t available on-line right now due to closure of Federal Government. Link only goes to U.S. Dept of Interior home-page instead of reference document.  Sorry!--Orygun (talk) 07:53, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg. Good to go. Article is effectively new (created in place of a redirect, as nominator noted), its creation is new enough, and article length far exceeds minimum amount of prose for DYK. No policy issues found.  I checked all available online sources for close paraphrasing and found none.  Of the cited webpages that are temporarily unavailable due to the federal government shutdown, I was able to find some in the Internet Archive, and checked those, as well.  Nominator does not have a history of close paraphrasing problems, so I'm confident in assuming that the few online sources I couldn't check (and which should be back online soon), as well as the offline ones, were appropriately paraphrased. Overall, the article is very well-referenced.  Hook is short enough and interesting.  Hook fact is mentioned in the article (near end of history section) and source is cited inline; AGF on hook fact, due to temporary unavailability of document online during gov't shutdown. I made one punctuation correction to the hook, changing the semicolon to a comma.  Nominator has completed QPQ review.  Image is appropriately licensed, is used in article, and looks fine at small size.  Article has been nominated for GA status by another editor, which indicates I'm not the only person who's looked at this article and concluded it's well-researched, written and referenced, but I still checked all of aforementioned requirements for this DYK review. This nominated hook is ready for use. SJ Morg (talk) 07:59, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
