Koller's sickle

[edit]
  • ... that Koller's sickle is a local thickening of cells at the posterior edge of the area pellucida in avian gastrulation?

5x expanded by Blairwal (talk), Allielew00 (talk). Nominated by Blairwal (talk) at 01:48, 2 November 2013 (UTC).

  • Length and date verified (4847 characters, Updated >5X on 11/02). Stub template removed. Hook is implied in the article but not clearly stated in the article with an immediate in-line citation. Please consider choosing another hook or edit the article. The references look good but could use a few more from the list of references on the Talk page from this editor. Since ref 2 and 3 are both article freely available online, please consider add links to the articles in the citations. First nomination, no QPQ needed.

  • There have been subsequent edits to the article: I suggest that the reviewer check both the hook issue and the sourcing issue, and also do a close paraphrasing check, since so many sources are available online. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:20, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Is it possible to find other interesting facts in the article that can be incorporated into this hook? APerson (talk!) 20:19, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
Would this be any good? - ALT1 ... that Koller's sickle is also Rauber's sickle? --Bcp67 (talk) 11:55, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
Subject to any significant points from @ChemLibrarian as per @Refereee's suggestion then I think ALT1 is fine and is well cited. The discussion on the talk page of this article should convince any doubters of the good regard for this article and the +ve suggestions that are offered. I couldn't see any close paraphrasing.
