- Began review, new enough, long enough. AshLin (talk) 11:36, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- Info clumped up, seperated it into sections, makes it more readable.
Done. - @Gaff: Hook just not interesting enough - there are many monotypic genera. Please suggest alternatives not invoving monotypic genus status.
- Please use Template:Convert for depth range to show depth both in feet and meters. Done
- The superfluous words "Ref Ref. 90102" & "TL male/unsexed" shows sloppy cut & paste from Fishbase. Please be careful, it also implies that copyvio/close paraphrasing issues may exist. AshLin (talk) 14:19, 18 October 2014 (UTC) Done
- Yes, besides the two copyvios, there are close paraphrasing issues also - " a single pore above and below the raised median canal on each pored lateral line scale", please rephrase this. Done
- "color patterns present on the head body and vertical fins and"
- "apogonichthys foa fowleria and neamia"
- Yes, besides the two copyvios, there are close paraphrasing issues also - " a single pore above and below the raised median canal on each pored lateral line scale", please rephrase this.
- Please reconcile these & ping me or place a message on my talk page. AshLin (talk) 14:27, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- @AshLin: Thank you for the review. Copyvio/close paraphrasing concerns have (hopefully) been adequately addressed. Sadly, your concerns about the hook not being of interest may prove insurmountable, in which case, I'll abandon this as a candidate. To a lay reader such as myself (physician by trade), a new genus of fish being described this year (2 months ago) seems interesting enough. (At least as, if not more, interesting than 2 out of 5 DYK noms.)[citation needed] But, I'm happy to work with you... How about these? One emphasizes the timeliness of the entry, another notes some interesting features of the fish, and one does both:
- ALT3 ... that this summer the cream-spotted cardinalfish was announced to be the sole member of a new genus of tropical fish?
- ALT4 ... that the cream-spotted cardinalfish is a nocturnal mouthbrooder, was announced this summer to be the sole member of a new genus?
- ALT5 ... that this summer a nocturnal mouthbrooder, the cream-spotted cardinalfish, was found to be the sole member of a new genus of tropical fish? —Gaff ταλκ 21:53, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
I recommend a mish-mash of of the above, composed from two seperate sentences in the text & duly referenced inline.
- ALT6 ... that the cream-spotted cardinalfish, the sole member of a new genus of tropical fish, Ozichthys, described in 2014, is a nocturnal mouthbrooder? Done
- ALT6 ... that the cream-spotted cardinalfish, the sole member of a new genus of tropical fish, Ozichthys, described in 2014, is a nocturnal mouthbrooder?
Good to go
