 * Symbol question.svg Interesting good article, on excellent source, offline and foreign source accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and shows well. I would not pipe the name, but give it as a translation if at all, or readers might actually think it's an oasis. I'd decide "seen from space" or the lakes, not both. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:18, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
 * ps: also needs a qpq --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:18, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
 * QPQ is here. Technically Waw an Namus is an oasis that also happens to be a volcano. I was wondering if DYK can be run with more than one image as the current only shows one lake. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 18:53, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Undwrstand better, but don't think a scond image would add clarity. I suggest to say it the other way round, to get to the pictured thing first:
