Grey gull[edit]

  • ... that the grey gull nests inland in a desert some 35 to 100 km (22 to 62 miles) from the sea?

5x expanded by Cwmhiraeth (talk). Self nominated at 05:50, 31 May 2014 (UTC).

  • Doesn't appear to meet the 5x expansion parameter. I am new here, so I am not sure this is a dis-qualifier. Well written article. Hook is documented. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 18:20, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
  • Long enough, expansion new enough (DYK check says "Assuming article is at 5x now, expansion began 7 edits ago on May 30, 2014".) You do, however need to do QPQ as you have previously achieved more than 5 DYKs. The disambig link check is unavailable to me at the moment, but I checked manually and found none, so that's OK. External links are OK. Offline citation for hook accepted AFG. Nice images, both free. The commonscat link leads to a redirect; it should go to "Category:Leucophaeus modestus". A nice article which should be good to go when you have done QPQ. --Storye book (talk)
  • Oops, the QPQ was there all the time and I missed it (not the first time I've done that) - my bad. Good to go! --Storye book (talk) 19:18, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
