 * Symbol question.svg The subject of this article is beyond my area of expertise, but I am unable to find sentences with inline citations that support the hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:23, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
 * This is a summary of the Local techtonics section. The three joins meeting at the junction are the Emerald Fracture Zone, Southeast Indian Ridge, and Hjort Trench. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:19, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry, the holiday season intervened. My problem is with the three "kinds of tectonic plate boundaries" mentioned in the hooks. It seems that a "leaky transform fault" is one of these, but what are the names of the two other kinds of plate boundaries? DYK requires there to be an inline citation for any facts mentioned in the hook. No mention of the word "leaky" is included in a sentence with an inline citation therefore ALT1 is not currently acceptable. If the proposed hook was ALT2, I would be able to accept it. Anything more specific will require further inline citations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cwmhiraeth (talk • contribs) 11:54, 31 December 2014‎ (UTC)

 * Although true, all triple junctions have this property, it would be part of the definition! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 15:06, 31 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg Graeme Bartlett, since ALT2 seems to be inappropriate (a self-definition), it behooves you to address the issues that Cwmhiraeth has raised with the other two hooks: to wit, that the three kinds of tectonic plate boundaries need to be specified and inline cited for the remaining hooks to be supported per DYK rules. At the moment, the leaky transform fault is definitely not sourced per DYK rules, which is by the end of the sentence in which the fact is mentioned. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:37, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I will source the statements in the next few days. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 04:52, 5 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol delete vote.svg Graeme Bartlett, it has been two weeks since the request for sourcing, and twelve days since sourcing was promised "in the next few days". If you provide the sourcing before this nomination closes, please post here to continue the review process. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:33, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
