  • @Cwmhiraeth:, are you able to provide a link to the review for "Priya Anand (voice actress)"? I cannot locate it. Flibirigit (talk) 16:20, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
@Flibirigit: I'm not sure about Priya Anand (voice actress), which is ineligible, and rather than waste time sorting out what happened, I have done another review and listed it above. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:56, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 Doing... Great, thanks. I will start reviewing the articles, and hopefully be done by the end of the weekend. Flibirigit (talk) 03:40, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
@Flibirigit: Thanks. My understanding is that in a multiple article DYK nomination there is no necessity for one of the articles to mention all the others, and in this case, although I could link Ugandan musk shrew in the main article (Uganda has 345 recorded mammals), there is no necessity to do so as long as the shrew's article states that it occurs in Uganda, which it does. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:24, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
It appears we are going to disagree on citing the hook. I will let another reviewer continue. Flibirigit (talk) 15:25, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
@MJL: Responding to the points you raise.
  • 1. I have removed mention of the size of the jaws. It was mentioned somewhere, but I forget now where.
  • 2. Source states "forest is also under pressure from illegal timber cutting."
  • 3. Source states "Listed as Data Deficient in view of continuing uncertainty as to its extent of occurrence, natural history, threats, conservation status and taxonomic status."
  • 4. Source states "Occurs in open and wooded savanna with access to water, as well as riverine and lake-shore grasslands." Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:08, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
    @Cwmhiraeth: Okay, 1 through 3 is great, but is a riverine the same thing as a valley-floor grasslands? –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 19:18, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
@MJL: Well, perhaps not precisely the same, so I have changed the wording. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:28, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
@Cwmhiraeth: Sorry for being so tough on ya, but because Wildlife of Uganda was so much larger than the other three, I put off closely looking into it. The exact statement I have issue with is Uganda has ten national parks and thirteen wildlife reserves and sanctuaries, and in these areas, the protection of nature takes precedence over human development. The source goes into detail about how biodiversity is oven (sic) overlooked, but I'm not seeing much info that could support this (I doubled checked this time, I swear- lol). –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 00:08, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
I tried to find a source for you this time, though. I just couldn't find any that weren't travel websites. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 00:10, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
@MJL: I probably got the information from List of protected areas of Uganda which does not have a citation for the information, but probably got it from a dataset like this one, which I cannot open. The ten national parks are listed here. The information is not contentious, but I could remove the wildlife reserves bit I suppose. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:36, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
@Cwmhiraeth: Okay, so that's everything then!
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: There are no further issues with the nomination. All info is sourced or noncontinuous. The hook only contains information that can clearly be found within its constituent articles. All set for the front page! Thank you for you time!! –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 07:59, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

  • Unfortunately given the amount of content copied from other articles, Wildlife of Uganda is well short of the expansion requirements. Nikkimaria (talk) 18:03, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
I have to agree with Nikkimaria here, I had completely forgotten about that rule, and will be more careful not to include copied text when I move on to my next "Wildlife" article. I would like to suggest this nomination goes ahead with the approved hook, but with the article Wildlife of Uganda linked but unbolded, like this
  • I have no objection to unbolding the wildlife article. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:43, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
  • Okay, restoring the green checkmark. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 00:56, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
  • Note: I have struck the original hook, which had the wildlife article in the bold font, and removed the DYKmake credit for said article while leaving the remaining three DYKmakes intact. I have also moved the new tick to the beginning of the line, where all such DYK icons belong. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:44, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
