• Reviewed: Usnea articulata

5x expanded by Arius1998 (talk). Self-nominated at 01:11, 30 October 2018 (UTC).

• I reviewed the article and found the following:
  • Article newly expanded more than fivefold within 7 days from submission and is long enough, way more than 1500 characters.
  • Article has never been featured on the Main Page before.
  • All hooks are followed by inline citation to a reliable source.
  • No plagiarism or close paraphrasing detected.
  • Hooks are properly formatted and are short enough.
  • The image is free of any copyright restrictions and is relevant to the article.
  • Of all the Alts I prefer ALT4, but source 22 (Guttmann, Allen. Japanese Sports: A History) doesn't have a page number, could that page number be provided?

Thanks! --1l2l3k (talk) 13:47, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your review, 1l2l3k. I have no problem with the use of ALT4. For the Guttman citation, the page number would be 106-107. I believe this can be verified online. Arius1998 (talk) 13:56, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

@Arius1998: Please add that page number to the article, then, and I'll get back online later to approve. Also, and please understand that this is not a DYK requirement, rather a Good Article requirement, please consider expanding the lead so that it contains a summary of the article itself. After that you won't have much to do at WP:GA. --1l2l3k (talk) 14:01, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

@1l2l3k: The page number for Guttman has been added. I appreciate the observation that it may qualify for GA status. I will be expanding the lead as per your recommendation. For now, I hope it can qualify for DYK. Arius1998 (talk) 00:17, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Ok with ALT 4. Good to go. --1l2l3k (talk) 00:25, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
