- ALT2: ... that the Duckabush River (pictured) is fed by tributaries from The Brothers, Mount Jupiter, and Mount Elk Lick on the Olympic Peninsula?

- Article expansion new enough and long enough. Article is well cited, neutral in sourcing and wording. The hook is not fully found in the article however and this needs correction. The article does not specify if the river travels through/across the pillow lavas or just geographically near them, additionally water formation of pillow lavas is not noted in the article at all.--Kevmin § 15:58, 24 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
  - @Kevmin: Hello and thank you for the review! I have been away for a few days, but I hope the edits I recently made will be sufficient. ❯❯❯ Mccunicano ☕️ 05:50, 27 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
    - The wording updates now provide the needed prose, the hook matches the article and the article is a summary of the provided points in the source reference. Article expansion new enough and long enough. Article is well cited, neutral in sourcing and wording. No copyvioloations or close paraphrasing are seen in the article. Image is main page appropriate. Looks good to go.--Kev min § 13:44, 29 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
