| General: Article is new enough and long enough |
|---|
Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
- There is some minor close paraphrasing from the park's website.
Hook eligibility:
- Cited: - See below
- Interesting:
- Other problems: - ALT0 is cited to the park's own website, and I'd like to see a secondary source before approving that hook. ALT1 is a superlative claim, so we need better sourcing for that than "'Total Eclipse of the Park' offers secluded gathering at Eagle Creek Park". ALT2 is fine.

- @Epicgenius: Updated the cites and tried to reduce the close paraphrasing, let me know what you think. Alt0 is my personal fave, so I'm hoping to get that one good to go the most.-- Cerebral726 (talk) 13:30, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
