 * ALT1: ... that the Kythira Strait is one of the most dangerous navigational hazards in the Mediterranean? -- Nvvchar . 20:13, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. QPQ done. ALT1 is a great hook, but it needs an inline cite. I also added a "citation needed" tag to the sentence with the quote under Earthquakes and Tsunami. Yoninah (talk) 11:26, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. I have fixed references to tag and also to ALT hook. Pl see.-- Nvvchar . 14:52, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. The only problem is that the source doesn't mention the Kythira Strait, only Cape Maleas. Perhaps something should be said in the lead to connect Cape Maleas with the Kythira Strait? Yoninah (talk) 15:13, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I have added text from a snippet source from a book after the ALT1 hook text. Hope it is ok now. Thanks.-- Nvvchar . 15:53, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Yes, it is. ALT1 hook ref verified and cited inline. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 17:23, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
