Hygrophorus hypothejus

Hygrophorus hypothejus, Finland
Hygrophorus hypothejus, Finland

5x expanded by Casliber (talk). Self-nominated at 12:04, 22 October 2015 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg Sufficiently expanded, meets core content policies. But the article says that its color becomes more intense at first frost, implying that it shows up before then. Perhaps one of these is hookier any anyway, playing on the notion that people will think that the "herald of the winter" is a mythological figure or something (needless to say, they'd do better without the picture):
  • ALT1: ... that the herald of the winter is highly slimy?
  • ALT2: ... that the herald of the winter is edible?
  • ALT3: ... that while the herald of the winter is edible, eating it is not recommended, as it is highly slimy? --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 19:02, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
(belatedly)...errr...could go with any of those I guess...or add an "around" as in "around the time of first frost", for first hook. Will see what others think. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 05:29, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
With AGF for the offline source cited for the hook fact, the article text seems to me to support the "around the time of" (rather than "with") phrasing Cas Liber suggested. The other hooks suggested by Jakob check out as well, though ALT1 may not be interesting enough. I like the way the first hook (as amended) would explain the common name of the species; on the other hand that very completeness might mean fewer clicks. Other opinions? —GrammarFascist contribstalk 19:22, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
  • Symbol redirect vote 4.svg New reviewer needed to decide on appropriate hook(s) and finish review. Struck original hook because it remains inaccurate; if it is considered desirable, the revised wording can be proposed as an ALT4. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:24, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
  • Symbol voting keep.svg Assuming good faith for Alt1, Alt2, and Alt3 hooks. All hook lengths are good and have citations to quality offline refs. I personally prefer alt 3. Article has inline citations throughout. The article is 5x expanded and nominated in time. No copyright problems, wikipedia policies are followed, and QPQ done. Image is usable. This can be promoted.4meter4 (talk) 02:13, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
