The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk pageorWikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Other problems: - @Cwmhiraeth: Per WP:DYK#gen3, the hook should be "appearing no later than the end of the sentence(s) offering that fact." That is the only issue with this nomination.
@Epicgenius: Actually this is difficult. There are a lot of interlinking lagoons near the northern tip of Sri Lanka. Jaffna Lagoon, or the Jaffna Lagoon complex as some sources call it, is not specifically mentioned in connection with migratory birds. Most of the sources quoted are either about the lagoons in general or about specific ones (with seemingly variable Sinhalese names), and although the lagoons are mostly linked, do not necessarily refer to Jaffna Lagoon. There are also problems with the dates of the sources, and what was true during the civil war is not necessarily true now. So I think I had just better withdraw this nomination.
