Hidden Cave
[edit]- ... that Hidden Cave, an archaeological cave site located in the Great Basin near Fallon, Nevada, got its name from Mark Harrington, who first excavated the cave and had a hard time finding the entrance, who said at the time, "This is one hidden cave!"?

Very interesting hook but 249 characters, can you make it less than 200? --Tito Dutta (talk) 00:01, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

- The Alt looks great! Just an opinion (not related to any DYK criteria), can you unlink "archaeological" "cave"? Firstly these are common terms, secondly I have seen the more links we add in the hook, the more readers get confused where to click! Anyway, it should be a fine hook, in my opinion! I'll add the DYKTick after seeing your reply about the link comment (if you give any, otherwise I'll tick it within 3 hours of your last edit after my talkback post at your talk page.)--Tito Dutta (talk) 03:20, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
- Done. Slightly revised Alt1 above (delinked ""archaeological" and "cave"). Northamerica1000(talk) 03:25, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
The ALT1 looks fine and interesting! You can add User:Utcursch too as expander. --Tito Dutta (talk) 03:30, 17 December 2012 (UTC) typo correction: to→too (shown in green Tito Dutta (talk) 03:32, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
