GTG, but please make things easier for reviewers in future! Fascinating stuff! New & long enough, seems neutral & well-written. Earwig only finds names & quotes. Pic ok to use, QPQ done. Hook eventually verified, after a good deal of reading - please give quotes in future, which is easily done. I couldn't see it in the very long first ref at the sentence (Vogelsang), so why is that there? Also please specify when you moved it to mainspace so I don't have to look through all the history, but that's now done. Johnbod (talk) 20:02, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Johnbod, hey, sorry...usually I do link to and quote specific sources, but this one felt like it didn't need it so much. I'll not make that assumption in future, thanks! And thanks for the review! :) --valereee (talk) 20:43, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
