- @Quetzal1964: Article long enough, recently quintupled, and generally well-cited. The hooks, while interesting, are a bit long - definitely should shorten them. Also, QPQ is pending as nominator has well above 5 DYKs already. Juxlos (talk) 16:27, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
- Juxlos I have shortened the hooks. I know about the QPQ and will get that done over the weekend. Thank you for reviewing this nomination.Quetzal1964 (talk) 17:45, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
- ALT1 seems good. Juxlos (talk) 12:12, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
- This source says no records found. Was it mistyped? jp×g 03:21, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- jp it was as Catalog of Fishes recognises Pagetodes as the valid name for the genus, I have corrected it.
