Lake Brunner

• ... that 100-year-old logs, perfectly preserved and good enough to mill, have been retrieved from the bottom of Lake Brunner? Source: "The heart timber has been preserved underwater and is in the same condition as the day it was cut down 50–100 years ago." "Ray Thomas, Lake Brunner". Forestry and Land Operations Newsletter. Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries. March 2012. p. 2. Retrieved 16 July 2022.

5x expanded by Giantflightlessbirds (talk). Self-nominated at 01:52, 16 July 2022 (UTC).

• ALT2: ... that while a Wikipedian-at-large, Mike Dickison, was improving the Wikipedia entry for Lake Brunner (pictured), he was filmed by Newshub for the 6 pm news? General write up about the residency and item as screened on the news.

• I thought we might as well have a bit of fun with this and have added ALT2. Hope you don't mind, Mike. Schwede66 22:40, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

• I think I prefer the other two hooks; I'd rather the attention was on the lake, not me! But whatever other editors think. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 10:20, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

• As the hook fact has been removed from the target article, I've struck ALT2. Schwede66 02:53, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

• New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Image is freely licensed, and hook fact is interesting. Some things to fine-tune, Schwede66: Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 22:24, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

• Two small islands in Pah Bay near the mouth of the Crooked River are known as the Refuge Islands (Takataka and Takatakaiti) needs a citation (and a period). The lake is large enough that it can be subject to severe weather, including a powerful easterly wind known as the "Brucer", which blows up the valley from Inchbonnie (originally the Bruce farm). needs a citation.
• The hook fact is in the article but needs a cite invocation on the sentence Logs that sank to the lake floor remained perfectly preserved a century later, with axe marks still visible..
• No other textual issues.

• Sammi Brie, I can see how this happened but it's not my nomination. Ping to Giantflightlessbirds on your behalf. Schwede66 22:27, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

• Thank you Sammi Brie for the review and Schwede66 for the heads-up; I've added a citation to the hook fact, and to the other two unreferenced sentences. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 01:01, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

• (Note: You can't add pings after the fact without signing your message again, Giantflightlessbirds.) AGF tick on the offline source also provided to back the hook. The issues have been fixed. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 16:08, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
