Gaga (genus)[edit]
5x expanded by IndianBio (talk), Casliber (talk). Nominated by Casliber (talk) at 15:04, 9 September 2014 (UTC).
5x expansion, new enough, the hook is interesting and verified by the cited sources. QPQ done. I did however notice some close paraphrasing issues. For example, the sentence "During the performance Gaga wore a heart-shaped Armani Prive' costume with giant shoulders that according to Pryer, looked similar to the bisexual reproductive stage of the ferns, called a gametophyte" in the wiki article is very close to the "For example, in her performance at the 2010 Grammy Awards, Lady Gaga wore a heart-shaped Armani Prive' costume with giant shoulders that looked, to Pryer's trained eyes, exactly like the bisexual reproductive stage of the ferns, called a gametophyte" of the cited source. It wouldn't hurt to go through the article a bit more thoroughly and distance it from the source. Otherwise it seems fine. Yakikaki (talk) 08:05, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
