Comment: What, was JPxG sleeping on the job?^[FBDB] theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 08:54, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is in Wisconsin, pretty sure JPxG is contained within the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta. Juxlos (talk) 10:09, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article has been 5x'd recently. Generally well-referenced, no copyvio detected by Earwig - not the biggest fan of the "House hearing" blocks of quotes, but that's not a DYK policy. QPQ not needed for nominator's 3rd DYK. Hook is interesting enough, so good to go. Juxlos (talk) 10:09, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I went to JPxG's user page, and was impressed by his list of islands. Thank you for approving it to DYK.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 22:11, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
