- QPQ complete, interesting hook if you are a fossil buff, new enough, long enough, fact is cited, however the hook isn't clear enough as to what it is talking about. Is it talking about the animals that can exist in Dominican amber, or is it talking about an 1984 study? I'm not sure... Jeremy112233 (talk) 22:27, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
- I have clarified the statement in the article. At this point in time, it refers to both. The only two fossil species of Pseudarmadillo are the Dominican amber ones and both were described in the 1984 paper.--Kevmin § 17:02, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- Also good for length, neutrality, and there is no close paraphrasing. So are you saying the hook is about one of two species discovered in 1984, or just a paper written in 1984? Jeremy112233 (talk) 21:28, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- As shown by the bold linking in the hook, and the content of the article, its on Pseudarmadillo tuberculatus.--Kevmin § 23:13, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
As the earlier reviewer states, the article meets the DYK criteria. AGF on the sourcing, as I was able to see only one of the two sources cited. The following rearrangement of the hook words should resolve the ambiguity that bothered Jeremy112233:
