- Here are some more alt hooks:
- ALT3: ... that you can't see what feeds Asik-Asik Falls (pictured)? Source: INQUIRER-2
- ALT4: ... Asik-Asik Falls (pictured) aren't fed by a visible source? Source: INQUIRER-2
These are kind of what the falls are really known for, so I think that these would be more interesting. - DarkNight0917 (talk / contr) 23:57, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
new enough, long enough, image is fine, qpq done. some concerns:
- on the verge of rejecting alt0; to discover something, by definition, has to be an accident.
- rejecting alt1; not mentioned in article. also, readers won't know what it means for a waterfall to go viral. it was an image of the falls that went viral, and that's uninteresting, a lot of things go viral.
- rejecting alt2; uninteresting (and probably undue to mention in the article).
- alt3/4's source says that
Where the water comes from is still a mystery.
it's not visible, yes, but it's also not known, unless there's something i'm missing.
- refs 2, 3, and 7 are travel guides/blogs; are these reliable?
It receives over 500 tourists on weekdays and 1,000 on weekends
is cited to a 2014 source and probably outdated

- Don't know what's wrong with alt3 and 4, the blogs are reliable since these are usually for expansion and regularly do no harm in DYK. Fixed the outdated thing by adding a note.
🍗TheNuggeteer🍗13:57, 30 August 2024 (UTC)- @TheNuggeteer:
regularly do no harm
? do you have examples? ltbdl☃ (talk) 17:42, 2 September 2024 (UTC) - @TheNuggeteer: If the article cites blogs with no kind of peer review or editorial process, ltbdl is right that those should be removed before appearing at DYK. Could that be addressed? theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 07:07, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- I have removed the travel/blogs from the article and added material that was not in the article. Catfurball (talk) 21:33, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- @DarkNight0917:, since this is your article you should over my edits if you want this article on the main portal page. Catfurball (talk) 21:11, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Looks good to me. The blogs have been removed and replaced with better sources. I've also proposed other ALT hooks that are more specific about the origins of the water:

- @DarkNight0917, TheNuggeteer, Ltbdl, Theleekycauldron, and Catfurball: What is the status of this nomination?--Launchballer 18:03, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
@Launchballer: Since I removed the travel guides/blogs and expanded the article it should pass nomination. Catfurball (talk) 18:11, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
