5x expanded by Listephanie (talk). Self-nominated at 20:22, 8 October 2019 (UTC).
Hello Listephanie! Here's my review of your nomination, which may seem a bit impersonal and jargon-y since it's trying to cover all the criteria for the review. I enjoyed reading the page even though I don't specialize in biology. 5x expansion is long enough and new enough. Prose is neutral, has ample in-line citations, with no close paraphrasing or plagiarism detected. Quid Pro Quo (QPQ) not required as this is Listephanie's first nomination. Both hooks are neutral, short enough, and cited in-line in the article. Sources are print and taken on good faith. The image is freely licensed, is used on the page, and looks fine in a small thumbnail. I approve the nomination and both hooks. The first is more interesting to a broad audience, since many people may not know the definition of sympatric speciation. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 19:38, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
