South Bay Salt Works

 * ... that South Bay Salt Works is the second longest-running business in San Diego?


 * ALT1:... that over 94 species of bird have been seen at the salt ponds of South Bay Salt Works?
 * Reviewed: As of this DYK nomination I have a dozen DYK credits. As such I have reviewed the nomination for the article Royal Air Force Marine Branch (diff).
 * Comment: I began work on this article on 29 April, and for this review am considered to have completed expanding this article today, 3 May; this length of time is under the seven day limit. I have exceeded expansion of this article beyond the five-fold requirement; prior to my first edit the article was all of 256 characters, a true stub; as of my last edit to the article prior to creating this nomination the article is 6075 characters (not including the infobox and primary section titles), this is an expansion of twenty-three fold! The article has not been featured, to the best of my knowledge, in the past in other main page sections; nor is it a translation from other wiki sources. The article exceeds the long enough requirement, and hook 1 is 91 characters in length, while hook 2 is shorter at 79 characters in length. Nearly all sentences of the article are verified to reliable sources, and this article has no BLP issues that I am aware of.

 * Here is a possible image for the first hook. South Bay Salt Works montague.jpg Caption can be "Buildings of South Bay Salt Works".--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 12:16, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Here is a possible image for the second hook. Thalasseus elegans -Port of San Diego -flock-8b.jpg Caption can be "Elegant terns at the salt works".--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 12:18, 3 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:11, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article is a fivefold expansion and is new enough and long enough. Either hook could be used as each has an inline citation. The images are appropriately licensed but I do not think the bird image looks impressive at thumbnail size. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues.
