A fact from Japanese tree frog appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 8 December 2022 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the calling patterns of the Japanese tree frog have been used in wireless network design, furthering an area of science known as swarm intelligence?

Wikipedia

Found in Georgia

I live in North America, specifically the state of Georgia. Today I was outside hosing down my house and saw a frog on my porch. After a little research I matched it up with the picture and description of a Japanese Tree Frog.

Everything I've been able to read says that it is more common to Japan than to North America. So does anyone know if it is an unusual occurence to see one of these frogs, especially on your porch?

I should probably mention there are not a lot of trees in our neighborhood, and I don't live on a body of water. The closest water is at least 1000 meters away and the closest clump of trees are at least 800 meters away.

Thank you!

Name of the species Japanese or Korean or Far Eastern

Please clarify the name of the species. It is Japanese in the title, but Korean in the body. Is it better to use "Far Eastern" which is more neutral one? --GenuineMongol (talk) 04:30, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

??? I cannot find the word "Korean" in the body. The scientific/binomial name is Hyla japonica and according to this page, the common name in en is "Japanese Tree Frog". The article title at kr WP is just "Tree frog" and the zh title is " Northeast Hyla". I find nothing wrong with the current title. Oda Mari (talk) 06:49, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My Additions

I added a Description, Habitat and Destruction, Conservation, Diet, Mating, Enemies, Behavior, Physiology, and Human Use sections. I added over 1500 words and included 21 references. I added these sections under the ip address 128.252.11.235. ShawnMohammed (talk) 16:42, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewing... –LordPeterII (talk) 15:12, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - some uncited sentences at the end of paragraphs
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited: - not the last part about "swarm intelligence" (because that sentence is uncited in the article)
Interesting:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: Several sentences at the end of paragraphs remain uncited, for example "H. japonica has a dark vocal sac." and "This is due to the necessity of the frog life cycle for both water and land." I could find no other issues; so if those were solved @ShawnMohammed, I can pass the nom. –LordPeterII (talk) 19:23, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

LordPeterII It looks like it might have been taken care of. I will add fixing the citation overkill as a suggestion to the nominator, but that shouldn't stop promotion. SL93 (talk) 02:03, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A new reviewer is needed. The original reviewer is on a wikibreak. SL93 (talk) 14:21, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Overall:

This source verifies the hook and is cited at the appropriate place in the article, so no concerns there. Article was 1695 characters of prose before expansing and was 11,233 when it was nominated on October 26, more than a 5x expansion of prose. According to QPQ check this is the nom's first nomination, so no QPQ required. Earwig only caught one little phrase that seems to fall under WP:LIMITED. In my opinion the hook is very interesting, so it appears good to go. Well done, certainly more interesting than my first DYK! - Aoidh (talk) 02:28, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ShawnMohammed (talk)@LordPeterII I added the citations to each of the sentences that you indicated were uncited. I hope this helps! Please let me know if there is anything else I need to do for the DYK nomination.

Peer Reviews

11/15/22 This article was really strong! I added several hyperlinks to enhance the reading experience- some examples of tiers or words I highlighted were Japan, China, Korea, IUCN, Russia, Mongolia, Ranavirus, lek, spanning animal/ecology terms and more broad geographies. I rephrased a few sentences to make sure that the most important information was upfront, added synonyms to some words to reduce repetitive-ness, deleted extra words to be more clear and concise, and tried to make sure each sentence was well cited (it was!). I also changed the order of the page as well, putting conservation lower down, and behavior higher up as per Wikipedia article best practices. I added a section on ranavirus under conservations since that is an important upcoming problem for these frogs and their tadpoles. Great job!Gracedekoker (talk) 21:15, 15 November 2022 (UTC)Gracedekoker[reply]

Peer review comments

{{ It is mentioned that this species of tree frog are native to Japan, China, and Korea, thus I am just a little curious why is it then called a Japanese tree frog. Is that because it was first discovered or studied in Japan? Maybe it is better to indicate that in the introduction. It is very interesting how they would adapt microgravatitioanl environment and resume after coming back. I also expect some other general behaviors that .his frog would express on Earth. Not sure what exactly the ability to adapt to micro-gravity means. Does it simply mean these frogs have a high level of survivability? I would make the Predator defense a subsection of physiology because it is a type of toxin it secretes to protect itself. And I think it’s better to include more details about how the toxic peptide work and what specifically the peptide is called. What ion channels are affected? Otherwise, this will be too general and does not produce too much useful information as it is supposed to. I rearranged the subsections.Darreciel (talk) 06:42, 17 November 2022 (UTC)}}[reply]

Peer Review + Comments

Great work on this frog entry! I found the discussion on frog mating to be really insightful after reading. I went ahead and revised your discussion on toxic peptide secretion by introducing specific context on the Anntoxin neurotoxin and its biological properties with additional sources. I also added hyperlinks and removed redundant information to make the text more concise. One suggestion I have for your discussion on the frog's habitat is maybe elaborating if there are specific states or regions within East Asian countries that frogs reside in?
