Overall: 
It does not appear that the article actually specifies that those two lakes were the source of the flooding. Ergo Sum 22:33, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Ergo Sum: Citation 2 covers Lake Roosevelt on its page 40-6 "The Grand Coulee Project caused the impoundment of approximately 12 miles of the San Poil River and additional reaches of tributary streams", while Citation 4 covers Glacial Lake Columbia, as the entire topic of the paper is on its flooding of the Sanpoil valley and nearby areas, and see paragraph 2 of the Introduction section for specific reference to flooding.--Kevmin § 00:52, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
- I'm still not seeing it. I see the references, but DYK Rule 3 requires that the hook to be directly stated and cited in the article. If you write a sentence about those two bodies of water being the sources of the flooding, that will satisfy it. Ergo Sum 01:10, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Ergo Sum: oh, I understand what your looking for now. Roosevelt lake is covered in the last paragraph of the course section "The dam flooded the last twelve miles of the Sanpoil River as well. This part of Lake Roosevelt is called the Sanpoil Arm", and Glacial Lake Missoula is covered by the third sentence in the Geology section "The lower river course, to a point north of Manila Creek, were notably marked by cyclical inundation from Glacial Lake Columbia over a period of at least 900 years during the Fraser Glaciation."
Okay, I think that works. Good to go. Ergo Sum 15:47, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
