Corythomantis greeningi
... that Greening's frog retreats into a hole, blocks the entrance with its spiny head and injects venom into anything that tries to dislodge it?Source: "A Brazilian scientist has made the painful, first-hand discovery of the first frog capable of injecting a toxic venom into potential predators. Carlos Jared, a researcher at Instituto Butantan in Sao Paolo, was collecting frogs in a forest Goytacazes National Reserve in southeastern Brazil when one of them head-butted him, jabbing its spines into his hand. That caused "intense pain radiating up the arm, lasting about five hours,"

Starting review. The first question I have is whether the article image is licenced correctly. The commons upload lists cc-by SA-4.0, however the article page doesnt specify a licence, and the original publication date of the article precedes creative commons 4.0 licencing.- Image in question has been deleted as a copyright violation. none of the sources in the article seem to support "Greening's frog" as a viable widely used name in more common use then the binomial.--Kevmin § 20:39, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Kevmin: I have added a reference for the common name. I like to use the common name in the hook as it is more accessible to the general reader. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:30, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Cwmhiraeth:, this is still an outstanding issue with the hook and article.--Kevmin § 18:00, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Kevmin: Well, I couldn't really understand your previous comment, but I don't mind using ALT1 Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:25, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
- ALT1 ... that the frog Corythomantis greeningi retreats into a hole, blocks the entrance with its spiny head and injects venom into anything that tries to dislodge it?
- Oh damn, my bad, I didnt even realise I mess up the prior comment! that should have been "The problem is that "Greening's frog" is in very little use while "Corythomantis greeningi" is the most often used.
With the updated hook everyting looks good to go. Article expansion new enough, and long enough. paragraphs are cited, sources are neutral. No policy issues identified, no copyvio issues seen. Alt 1 looks good to go. --19:45, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
