Gelae[edit]

  • ... that the genus of beetles Gelae contains species such as Gelae baen, Gelae balae, Gelae donut, Gelae fish, and Gelae rol?
  • Alt 1 ... that Gelae baen, Gelae balae, Gelae donut, Gelae fish, and Gelae rol are beetles of the genus Gelae?

  • Article is new enough, long enough, and is free from copyvio. Each paragraph is appropriately sourced in the article, and the references appear to be reliable.
  • The hook seems incredibly dull, even by my standards. Perhaps you could recommend another hook? Thine Antique Pen (talk) 23:02, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Here it is. The main thing is that the interesting fact lies in the wordplays, such as the sounds "jelly bean", "jelly belly", and so on. Chhandama (talk) 02:54, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
  • I like the sound of Alt 1. My only niggly concern is the BBC link - it links to an old version of h2g2, which used to be affliated. I'd replace it with this updated entry. Fuebaey (talk) 03:32, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the suggestion. I have cited the referred source. Chhandama (talk) 02:37, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
I'd be willing to accept this unless Thine Antique Pen wants credit (or someone has a problem with the suggested link above). New article, nominated in time, long enough, within policy and QPQ done. Both hooks are fine but I prefer Alt 1. Fuebaey (talk) 07:18, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
