• Created 24 March; everything is cited; only 1110 B, short nearly 400 B of prose. Curly Turkey (gobble) 10:02, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

• Sorry, I somehow always manage to mis-read or forget the size requirements. Now, by my calculations, over 1500B of prose. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 13:59, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

• I make it 1337 characters, so still a couple of sentences short. Sionk (talk) 15:44, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

• Oh sorry, my mistake again, the page size tool calculated it at over 1500B. Added further information, and the tool now gives 1681 B (274 words) "readable prose size", so even give or take a small amount this should be sufficient. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 16:28, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

• Okay, the tool's telling me 1709 B now. Curly Turkey (gobble) 20:46, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

• The reviewer has checked newness, size, and that it has inline citation, but what about the hook? Is it interesting? Is it supported by an inline citation to a reliable source? Mentoz86 (talk) 17:25, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

• It is supported by inline cites (in fact, two). Is it interesting? I suppose it's not one of those "clever" hooks, but I suppose it's interesting to those who are interested in rare wildlife. Curly Turkey (gobble) 21:49, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

• Thank you for elaborating. As a promoter, I was just curious if those were checked or not. Giving it a green tick per Curly Turkey's review. Mentoz86 (talk) 14:51, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
