Hello Oroblancos, and thank you for a great article! You have made some excellent improvements to Japanese rhinoceros beetle, but unfortunately it is not eligible for a Did You Know nomination. DYK is meant for brand new content, and while the article has seen massive improvement, it has not been expanded by 5x in size since you started editing last week (4250 bytes to 9700 bytes, about a 2x expansion). However, I think you can go one better than DYK. With just a little more work, I think this has the potential to pass a peer review and become a Good Article, at which point it would be recognized as some of the best content on Wikipedia (and could also be re-nominated for DYK! If you are interested in that, please let me know and I would be happy to help you through the process. Fritzmann (message me) 14:30, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
