Bornö Marine Research Station, Elizabeth Rona
[edit]( Back to T:TDYK )
( Article history links: )
... that Bornö Marine Research Station, built in 1902, has been considered by many Swedes to be the birthplace of Swedish oceanography. Famed nuclear chemist Elizabeth Rona went there to analyze a sample of sea bottom sediment to determine its radium content because her lab was contaminated, and spent the next 12 summers there?

- Thank you for the nomination. Am proposing alts because of the 200 char limit on the hook:
- ALT1: ... that the Bornö Marine Research Station was used by nuclear chemist Elizabeth Rona for her research analyzing sea bottom sediment because her own lab was contaminated?
- ALT2: ... that nuclear chemist and Haitinger Prize winner, Elizabeth Rona, worked at the Bornö Marine Research Station for twelve summers analyzing sea sediments for its radium content? SusunW (talk) 21:41, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
- Comment since it is a double nomination, we don't have to keep this under 200 characters. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 21:33, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
- I always forget about that ;) but I like the idea of putting her prize in there (even if there isn't an article about the prize on English WP). SusunW (talk) 21:41, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
- Actually, a double hook is allowed to exceed 200 characters only by the length of the extra hook(s); in this case, 325 characters is too far beyond, so I've struck the original hook. I've also added subpage parameters to all the DYKmake templates; 7&6=thirteen, I'm not sure if that parameter works alongside the 1 and 2 parameters needed for your DYKmakes, so please adjust if necessary.

Full review needed now that hooks are set. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:03, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
These two articles qualify for DYK on the basis of length and newness. Either ALT1 or ALT2 could be used, both having inline citations for the hook facts. The articles are neutral but I didn't have access to most of the sources to check for copyright issues. I prefer ALT2. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:44, 24 January 2016 (UTC) copyright issues
