Meratus blue flycatcher
Male Meratus blue flycatcher
- ... that the Meratus blue flycatcher (male pictured) was first recorded from Indonesian songbird markets in 2022, despite only having been discovered six years earlier?

5x expanded by AryKun (talk). Self-nominated at 18:59, 29 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Meratus blue flycatcher; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article expansion new enough and more than long enough. Article well cited, and sources neutral and used in a non=pov manner. Cornell website information taken AGF as membership locked. Image is mainpage compliant and distinct in thumb. The hook is interesting and verified to source for the songbird market half, but we will need a citation added closer the the 2016 sighting statement in the article per DYK rules.--Kevmin § 16:16, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Kevmin: Added the ref; you can verify the 2016 date with either the 2016 Eaton paper or 2022 Irham paper, both of which are freely available on G Scholar. More interestingly, the IUCN writes "its discovery in the Meratus Mountains [...] in 2015", despite every other source agreeing on the July 2016 expedition being the first sighting of it. The 2015 date is definitely wrong and probably either a typo or a lapsus, so should it be noted in the article? AryKun (talk) 11:17, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
With the citations after the 2016 date, the article is ready to go, meeting DKY and WP criteria. AryKun, if there is a neutral way to note the date discrepancy in the article, go for it, maybe something along the lines of "... while the IUCN lists the original sighting as 2015, Source 1, 2, etc. are in agreement that the sightings were in 2016".--Kevmin § 19:47, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
