- Congrats on bringing this to GA! :) This was still on my watchlist from last time you nominated it, so I was glad to see it again. :)
Promoted to GA within the last 7 days, so length/newness ok, no major policy issues. As for the hook, it's "hooky," but I've added an ALT1 for these reasons: add context for what the D means, change from "scarlet" to "red" since that seems to be what's in the text, link the colony. Also a copyedit to, among other reasons, ensure the new version isn't any longer than the original (which is on the longer side, but not too long). The hook is cited. The source isn't linked, so I can't verify it myself, but I think we can AGF. QPQ isn't necessary as it's one of the nominator's first 5 nominations.- I think we're just about good to go here. Thoughts on ALT1, Template:U? — Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:48, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
- BTW I just posted Wikipedia_talk:Did_you_know#Renomination_procedure? because I'm not sure if there's a particular procedure to renominate something. Probably not a big deal. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:51, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
