Length and dates are OK, article is adequately footnoted, and does not have close paraphrasing or copyvio issues. Hook checks out OK. I was a bit bothered that the article does not use the word "toes" that appears in the hook (and is linked in the hook) and the source calls the legs "small" rather than "tiny", but I believe the hook is valid and fully supported. The image license is good (and I was surprised to learn that this creature is a skink and not a snake, given that the legs are nearly invisible in the image). --Orlady (talk) 23:17, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
