 * Symbol question.svg Length and date are good. Two issues I see - in "Geography", the phrase "a large Swiss type glacier" is used.  What is the Swiss-type of glacier? This needs to be clarified.  Ref # 3 needs additional citation - it's lacking the author name and publication name.  From the url given I assume it is from the journal "Arctic", but it needs vol. and pg. #'s.  May I suggest:
 * ALT 2: ... that five glaciers empty into Alaska's Taku Inlet (pictured)?
 * Short and sweet, and the original hook doesn't have much interest factor imo. This hook could be sourced to the above ref. Otherwise, looking good.  The Interior  (Talk) 02:31, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I've deleted the "Swiss type glacier" sentence as I couldn't fine a source. I've tidied up the refs. --Rosiestep (talk) 05:44, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
 * One more problem sentence: "A complete preliminary navigational chart, to a scale of 1:10,000, has been prepared by field surveys, which had facilitated interested navigators to operate steam ships to view the glaciers"'. Confusing because I'm not sure too many steam-powered ships are plying Taku Inlet at present.  The Interior  (Talk) 03:00, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. ALT2 Hook suggested is OK. Made small changes in the above sentence in the text from "which had facilitated" to " to facilitate." I hope it satisfies the reviewer's observations.-- Nvvchar . 14:32, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg NVVchar, it was more the "steam" part I was concerned about! Thanks for the fixes, refs look good now Rosie. Tick for original hook. I still like mine, but I guess we need an outside party to tick that.  The Interior  (Talk) 21:39, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
