This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. @Dodger67: A QPQ needs to be done as you have seven previous DYKs. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:17, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks Cwmhiraeth I have reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Acer diabolicum per QPQ. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:56, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
Thank you. This is good to go. (I prefer the purple egg sac.) Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:03, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks Cwmhiraeth, I have made contact with one of the researchers and might soon obtain a few suitable photos. According to him the best photos have already been published but he is willing to search through his own unpublished collection for a few to add here. The egg sacks are indeed stunning. I'm also waiting for the full text of the journal article, so far I've only been able to use the abstract. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 14:49, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- Could this possibly be put on hold for a short while until I can find a photo or two? A photo of the egg sack would really enhance the impact of this DYK. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 15:04, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- As requested, please do not promote this for the time being. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:47, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- Nomination should not be promoted in any event until the submitted QPQ has been completed; no DYK review is complete without covering all of the criteria and including the appropriate icon, and this has no icon to indicate the review status. Dodger67, thanks for completing your review as soon as possible. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:57, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- BlueMoonset I think I have found the icon, but where.exactly am I supposed to post it? the instructions given are vague and incomplete. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 14:14, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- Dodger67, I'm sorry I overlooked this ping. (I was going to come back to it, but forgot to.) Depending on whether it's a full tick or an AGF tick (the latter if there sources that you can't access yourself and are assuming good faith that they support the cited material), insert "{{subst:DYKtick}}" or "{{subst:DYKtickAGF}}" (without the quotes) at the start of a new line in the review. (The former will look like Cwmhiraeth's tick icon above; the latter is a similar gray tick icon.) You can find the various icons and their template strings just above the edit window when editing a nomination page. Check it in preview to make sure it looks okay before publishing it, and let me know if you have any further questions; I'll be sure to answer in a more timely manner this time. (It looks like Evrik added the tick, but I've reverted them; if you like, and it's the right icon, you can just re-revert.) BlueMoonset (talk) 04:00, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
@BlueMoonset and Cwmhiraeth: first I'm seeing this. --evrik (talk) 21:09, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
- The QPQ was completed. No photograph seems to be forthcoming, so I think this should proceed without an image. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:11, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
