Comment. Open to suggestions on whether to include the scientific name or not. Philafrenzy (talk) 07:38, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New enough, long enough, neutral, sourced, no copyvios, hook is acceptable length and interesting. I don't have a strong opinion on the use of scientific names; I'd be slightly inclined to give the both but maybe put the scientific name in brackets after the common name, since the common name is catchy :-) An additional sentence needed to be cited for the hook, I've taken the liberty of doing that. (The citation was at the end of the paragraph.) QPQ from Whispyhistory confirmed. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 13:11, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed it to put the common name first. Any version is fine by me. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:02, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
