• New and long enough, QPQ review performed, image is properly licensed and used in article the article (at the source for the image here it states "This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited."), checks for copyvio reveal no problems (e.g. [1]). The hook is backed with an inline citation to a reliable offline source in the article and the alt is backed with inline citations to reliable online and offline sources.

The only problem is that the G. orientalis and G. tendir sections presently have no inline citations, which is required per D2 of the DYK Supplementary guidelines. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 08:42, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
