A fact from Pichu Pichu appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 30 June 2017 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
I randomly googled three phrases and only turned up Wikipedia mirrors. Earwig's tool shows no sign of copyright violation.
Spotchecks:
"Off the western coast of South America, the Nazca Plate subducts beneath the South American Plate; this subduction is responsible for volcanism in southern Peru" is sourced to this source p. 252 which supports the information
"The Andamayo and Mollebaya eventually join to form the Vitor and Siguas river and flow to the Pacific Ocean" is sourced to the above source p. 254 which supports the information
"The landslide is responsible for the arcuate shape of Pichu Pichu mountain" is sourced to this source p. 2 which supports the information
Lead:
Suggest "left a large north-south trending scar" be reworded ... perhaps "left a large scar that runs north to south"
"Pichu Pichu bore glaciers during the last glacial maximum, which left moraines and other glacial landforms." I'm assuming the glaciers are gone now? If so, suggest "Pichu Pichu bore glaciers during the last glacial maximum, which left moraines and other glacial landforms after they melted." or "Pichu Pichu bore glaciers during the last glacial maximum, which left moraines and other glacial landforms after their disappearance <date of disappearance>"
"Part of the mountain is in the nature reserve" - "the" here suggests a named reserve - we should name it or it should be "Part of the mountain is in nature reserve."
"The Inkas built a zig-zagging trail on to the mountain" do you mean "The Inkas built a zig-zagging trail on the mountain" or "The Inkas built a zig-zagging trail to the mountain"?
"During village ceremonies, people head up the mountain to collect resinous material." ... this feels very "tacked on" and devoid of context - is it really needed to be mentioned?
I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.
