Morning sun star attacking another starfish

  • Velcro, rainbow, and slime articles are new and meet the length requirements; morning sun has been expanded 5x. Image is public domain. Hook fact verified from online source, and paraphrasing seems to be sufficient. The rainbow star article, however, doesn't explicitly say that it often succeeds in evading the predator. Once this is put in the article I think this hook is good to go. Sasata (talk) 09:17, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
  • I agree, it is implied but not explicit. What about this hook? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:40, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that the velcro star, the rainbow star and the slime star sometimes successfully evade the predatory morning sun star (pictured attacking a starfish)?

  • The issue still is that the rainbow star article does not mention the possibility of the starfish getting away (unlike the other two). It's a minor detail, but the DYK rules do say that the hook fact has to be in the article. Sasata (talk) 12:09, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
  • Yes, either one of the ALT2 & 3 have facts that are mentioned in the article and supported by the cited source. I offer another ALT below with a prose tweak. Sasata (talk) 21:40, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
