Created by Viriditas (talk). Self-nominated at 09:19, 22 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Flathead Lake Biological Station; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
The article is new and long enough. It uses inline citations, is neutral and I cannot see any major copyvio problems. The hook is interesting and cited in the Research and monitoring section. QPQ has been done. - JuneGloom07 Talk 20:13, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
Dates of incumbent directors edit
I thought of adding this as a footnote, but I'm not sure how to word it just yet, so I will add it here instead for the moment. When I added the incumbency dates, I noticed that there was a variance in different sources, with some counting the year that the new director was chosen, with others counting the year the old director left, and still others showing that the appointment of the new director and the exit of the old one overlapped. There were other factors as well, such as budgetary crises and WWII that may have left the lab without an acting director, it's not entirely clear. I tried to add the most accurate dates for incumbency from the sources that I could find, but I doubt they are 100% correct. Viriditas (talk) 17:49, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
