... that scientists discovered the first ever biological screw joint (pictured) in the Papuan weevil Trigonopterus oblongus?

Length, and references check out! Very cool news btw! --Kev min § 23:58, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't this be at Biological screw joint? The article isn't really about the poor weevil which only gets a one line mention independent of its joint. Nothing about its life, loves, hopes... (also, I've possibly corrected the link to Papua here and in the article - check it is to the right place) Yomangani ^talk 00:49, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Okay, discussed with others, it seems like a good idea. Please consider this nomination as cancelled. This article will be redirected to the genus Trigonopterus and a fresh DYK registered for Biological screw joint after the move.

You should move the current article, & then redirect the old title. I would have defended the previous title myself, with redirects in place, but am fine with it either way. Johnbod (talk) 15:06, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done. This is a obsolete nomination which may be removed once the DYK for Biological screw joint is displayed. AshLin (talk) 04:28, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
