Cecidophyopsis ribis

[edit]
  • ... that the big bud mite can travel by wind, water or insect-power?

5x expanded by Cwmhiraeth (talk). Self nominated at 20:58, 14 March 2013 (UTC).

  • 5x expansion checks out; currently 2430 characters; the hook is not as accurate as it could be, and not that interesting and needs to be improved—the source says "transported by wind, rain, or flying insects." The text is awfully short and could be added to, for example,
  • ALT2 ... that the big bud mite only affects blackcurrants in Europe, seriously reduces fruit yields, and is so tiny it can travel by wind, rain or flying-insects?
Personally I like short hooks. What about - Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:57, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
  • ALT3 ... that the big bud mite is so tiny that it can be transported by wind, rain or flying insects?
  • Article - expansion started on 9 March, now 2430 characters of readable prose, as it was 414 previously x5.86 expansion; neutral; at least one inline citation to every paragraph; no copy vios detected using earwig/duplication detector; un-assessed, so not a stub.
  • Hook ALT3 - easily within length criteria at snappy 92 characters; correctly formatted; correctly cited/supported by ref #3 (p.1 of PDF) in sentence in middle of 'Biology' section; and interesting. I have struck other hooks.
  • QPQ done; no image.

I hope I'm not now going to have nightmares about bugs and lizards. PS: I'm getting a 404 not found error on ref #2? SagaciousPhil - Chat 15:20, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. The url should be all right now. I sometimes find it a real challenge to establish the correct url for a pdf file. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:18, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
