- ALT 1: ... that an estimated 67,500 South American tern nests containing 112,500 eggs were found on a single 150-yard (140 m) stretch of beach in Argentina?
Article was expanded 5x in past 5 days; article is long enough and is adequately references with no evidence of plagiarism; hook is appropriate length and reference is good. However, I suggest the hook be changed to emphasize the small size of the beach rather than the year of the observation (see ALT 1 above)…I think that’s more interesting. In either case, DYK is good to go.--Orygun (talk) 19:42, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks. ALT1 is better, and I have struck the original. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:00, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
