I created it in a sandbox and moved it to mainspace on September 6. DYKRULES 1(c). See here.--Wehwalt (talk) 23:42, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank You! for that link. We've been having some Toolforge lags of a week or two, so things that happen along those lines don't show up for long periods. — Maile (talk) 23:52, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No trouble. Long time no see. Hope you're doing well.--Wehwalt (talk) 00:08, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would suggest:
QPQ
  • Complete
Eligibility
  • Article to mainspace on September 6
  • 25704 characters (4155 words) "readable prose size"
Sourcing
  • Every paragraph is sourced, often more than once
Hook
  • Hook is is 110 characters, stated in the article, and sourced
  • ALT1 hook is 135 characters, stated in the article, and sourced
Images
  • No image used in the hook
Copyvio check
  • Earwig's tool shows no signs of concern - the only thing that shows up are quotes

Wehwalt all we need is a QPQ. Everything else is fine. You haven't asked for a specific date, but this would be a nifty article to run on September 17, Constitution Day (United States). Things we Americans should be grateful for - Patrick Henry didn't succeed on his tax-supported national religion idea. — Maile (talk) 00:38, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK, if Gerda doesn't have one ready, I'll do one tomorrow (Sunday).--Wehwalt (talk) 01:05, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Waking up: I will do a qpq next. I prefer the original hook as more concise, and it's so unusual that I don't think we need to spend extra words on saying that it remained the only such case. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:09, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
— Maile , thank you for the review. I reviewed now Template:Did you know nominations/Phyllium bilobatum. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:32, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think it might be worth including the uniqueness of this race, but won't push the point. Thank you, Gerda, for your help.--Wehwalt (talk) 08:42, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Noting that article creator prefers ALT1, and nominator prefers original hook. — Maile (talk) 10:17, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Is this right?
