[edit]

  • ... that though first described from mink organs, the yeast Candida blankii is now known to infect humans?

5x expanded by 7&6=thirteen (talk) and J Milburn (talk). Nominated by 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:00, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

  • Reviewing
  • The article is new enough
  • The article is long enough: 5x expanded
  • The hook is interesting and short enough (101 characters)
  • The hook sources need to be fixed. The link to Nature is broken, the link to the Buckley article shows a preview only. Another link is to a Worldcat entry for a German book. For the source for human disease citations 3 and 14 are better as these are peer-rviewed journals rather than an abstract.
  • No copyvio on Earwig
  • QPQ: done
  • The sources supporting the hook need to be fixed. Papamac (talk) 16:31, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
Papamac Thank you for the review
In the article, all of the links and sources supporting the hook are in order (footnotes 3 through 8), with one exception. Footnote 3 had a link to an article in Nature, and that is now a dead link; however, the DOI link still works. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:04, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
  • Yes, although the doi link is to a preview of the article and the part of the article shown doesn't cover C. blankii. Anyway the point is that the two facts in the hook are clearly supported by citations in the article, so good to go. Well done. Papamac (talk) 08:09, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
  • The article has several "clarification needed" tags. Yoninah (talk) 22:06, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
Clarified and removed tags. The tags were a post hoc addition. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 14:17, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
  • Thank you. Restoring tick per Papamac's review. Yoninah (talk) 16:38, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
