Tetragnatha montana

• ... that in a Polish study, a silver stretch spider ate on average 3.7 mosquitoes per day in early June? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link], or briefly cite, the source)

• ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link], or briefly cite, the source)

Created/expanded by Quetzal1964 (talk). Nominated by Casliber (talk) at 13:02, 4 October 2016 (UTC).

• @Quetzal1964 and Casliber:The article is new enough and long enough. Hook is referenced as is the article, but the description section should be reworked a bit to avoid the close paraphrasing, and to clarify what information is from each reference. The first section of the behavior section is not sourced, and seems to be very basic spider biology rather then species specific information. The hook is not totally true to the article or the source (at least the source abstract). The souces specifies the 3.7 is an average for the population over the course of early June.--Kevmin § 00:59, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

• Ok yeah, I worded it wrong (to capture population average), how about:

• ALT1:... that in a Polish study, the average silver stretch spider ate 3.7 mosquitoes per day in early June? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link], or briefly cite, the source)

• @Quetzal1964 and Casliber:Alt1 hook is good, as it follows the source much better. The behavior section has several sentences that are still bordering on close paraphrasing /copyvio grounds though, and I reverted the last few additions by Quetzal1964 as the vernacular name etymology placed in the lead was not supported by the reference given from what I could find.--Kevmin § 15:11, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

• @Kevmin: I'll take a look later. I only nominated this but will have a look at sourcing etc. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:12, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

This seems wasteful. What does the silver stretch spider do with the leftover 0.3 of a mosquito? EEng 05:58, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Maybe puts it in a bag and saves it for later? Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 09:59, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Or maybe he just wraps it up. EEng 14:34, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

• Article still meets review critera as noted in initial review, hook has been adjusted and alt1 is supported by the source. No issues with sourcing and policy are now found in article. This looks good to go.--Kevmin § 15:33, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
