New Jersey amber[edit]
New Jersey amber with Plumalexius wasp

- ALT1:... that fossils in New Jersey amber (pictured) were first described in 1821?
- Reviewed: Necromys
- Comment: Article prior to expansion was comprised of cut and pasted sentences from other articles. Thus this is a new article as I understand the nom rules.
Reviewed Necromys of the Necromys nomination. Created by Kevmin (talk). Self-nominated at 23:55, 8 August 2016 (UTC).
The article is new enough, having gone through a 5x expansion of a recently created low quality article and is more than long enough. The content is neutral, well-sourced and has no copyright or close paraphrase issues, as I see it. Both hooks are interesting, but I'd recommend ALT1. Both hooks rely on the same offline source and are accepted in good faith. QPQ has been satisfied. Alansohn (talk) 20:17, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
