Misumena vatia

  • ... that Misumena vatia, the goldenrod crab spider, can change colors between white and yellow depending on the color of the flowers on which it lives? Source: [1]

5x expanded by Eanisman (talk). Self-nominated at 01:07, 26 October 2020 (UTC).

  • DYK Check says that the article hasn't been expanded 5x within the last 10 days. Article was at 6,676 bytes when you started improving it, and now is at 22,079. Needs to be 33,380. Can you lengthen it that much? DrThneed (talk) 05:06, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
  • I've expanded the article past 33,380 and cleaned up the references section to the best of my ability. Let me know if I've missed anything or need to add anything else. Thanks!

Template:U great, I'll continue the review.DrThneed (talk) 02:52, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for your review. The alternate hook sounds good to me! I'm also new to DYK so I'm not sure if I should go ahead and change the proposed hook to reflect your suggestions. I'll leave it as is for now. Eanisman (talk) 03:55, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.

Symbol question.svg Giving a second opinion here. Most of the checks appear to be good, and to answer Template:U's question: hook facts do not always need to be word-by-word copied from the article, as long as the hook facts are mentioned and the hook's representation of them are accurate. With that said, I think the original hook wording is still better since mentioning the common name and the scientific name seems redundant; a possible solution could be to just present the common name as the name in the hook while giving a pipe link to the scientific name. But the outstanding issue right now is that, according to WP:DYK rules, any sentence that mentions hook facts must have an inline citation even if the relevant citation is already used elsewhere in the article. In this case, the main sentence appears to be Template:Tq, which is currently lacking a footnote. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:22, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
It appears that the nominator is a student editor who is editing as part of a course. As they haven't edited since the end of October, I'm pinging the instructor Template:U and the relevant Wiki Ed staff (Template:U and Template:U) to see if the student can be contacted regarding this.

Template:Re I have emailed the instructor and asked them to let the student know about the follow-up question. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:58, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
Hello Narutolovehinata5, sorry for the delayed response. I've added the appropriate inline citation and proposed an alternative hook including the piped link. Eanisman (talk) 17:12, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

It's good with me, but as Template:U suggested an alternative hook, it's probably good if they approve the ALT. DrThneed (talk) 03:27, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
I do not have access to the journal that's used as a citation, so I am assuming good faith on its reliability. Symbol voting keep.svg As there are no remaining issues found by me or DrThneed, this should be good to go. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:26, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, and tagged one paragraph that lacks any cite per Rule D2. Yoninah (talk) 16:56, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
