  • Prose size (text only): 6841 characters (1049 words) "readable prose size", Article created by Kevmin on February 19, 2023, Article moved from User:Kevmin/sandbox/Republicopteron on September 3, 2023, Assuming article is at 5x now, expansion began 16 edits ago on May 19, 2023. That all sounds OK. Two problems: QPQ was not completed, as the nom was withdrawn before much work was done. Also, maybe it's me, but I cannot find the hook in the article. It has no mention of sing, sound, silent, chirp, noise... only "stridulatory file". I think it should be explained in the article in a manner clear enough for standard users who are not paleoentomologists. I also cannot confirm the source, it's not even on SciHub. awkwafaba (📥) 17:17, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I figured you would have no problem finding an alternate QPQ, but I did ask on Discord first. Regarding the latter, I cannot access the cited journal article. I tried at the ZooTaxa link indicated as well as SciHub. Therefore I cannot verify that the taxon does not have a stridulatory file. awkwafaba (📥) 20:01, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • not sure why i couldn’t mention that the source is inaccessible, and am puzzled as to why mentioning it is so confusing. This is literally part of the process, and should not be surprising that a reviewer might want to see it or inquire about alternate access options. In any event, i see the new additions to the article and they look good. Hook approved. awkwafaba (📥) 12:33, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
