• New enough, long enough, nice article, does not look like copyvio. Hook facts check out, but the ALT0 fact isn't stated clearly in the article. (It is there in Latin, but not in lay people's terms). Image is fine. If this runs without image (and possibly if it runs with image), how about adding "extinct" somewhere in the hook? —Kusma (talk) 11:29, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

  Also seems that the QPQ has been already used at Template:Did you know nominations/Plecia canadensis; could you provide another one? —Kusma (talk) 11:32, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

@Kusma: I do not mind having extinct added, and have updated Alt0 accordingly. Also my apologies for the already used QPQ. Here is a alternate one!--Kevmin § 15:14, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for providing a new qpq. Happy to approve, but you could consider using the word "beech" more often in the article. —Kusma (talk) 15:37, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
