5x expanded by Cwmhiraeth (talk). Self-nominated at 06:14, 26 April 2017 (UTC).

  • All five articles were expanded at least fivefold between 20–25 April. All are well referenced and appear to be free from close paraphrasing. Five QPQs have been done. My only question is about the hook fact and whether it needs to be mentioned in all of the bolded articles, although I'm not sure if this is an actual rule (I had a look at the DYK rules but couldn't spot anything). The first article (white-barred piculet) says that the bird hybridises with the other four species, and the second article (Varzea piculet) says that this species hybridises with the first, but the other three articles don't mention hybridisation at all. Cwmhiraeth, do you know about the rules in this kind of situation? If the hook fact does need to be mentioned in every article, I think it would be sufficient just to mention in the last three articles that the species hybridises with the white-barred piculet. 97198 (talk) 07:02, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
This point has been raised before and I have seen no definitive answer. Consider a hook "... that A is a member of organisation B?", where A and B are two new articles bolded in the hook. It would be reasonable to include the fact in article A, but not in article B, where the organisation may have hundreds of members. So I take a view that the hook fact should be present and cited in at least one of the articles of a multi-article hook. Nevertheless, for the sake of completeness, I have added it to the other articles in this instance. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:27, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Okay, seems fine to me. And since I forgot to mention it earlier, the image is correctly licensed. 97198 (talk) 10:07, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
