Somali pigeon

... that the rare Somali pigeon "urgently" needs a population survey? Source: "There has been no survey or conservation work carried out in recent years; something that is urgently required to improve existing knowledge of this species's abundance, distribution, ecology and possible threats." — http://datazone.birdlife.org/species/factsheet/somali-pigeon-columba-oliviae/text

A quick comment: The image needs a caption, still assessed as a stub, D. Goodwin reference: Remove WP:ALLCAPS, Section Relationship with humans needs citations. Cheers--Chanaka L (talk) 18:50, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- I fixed most of these, but I can't find a reliable source that discusses the designs of the coins of Somaliland. --An anonymous username, not my real name (talk) 19:18, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Expanded enough at the time of nomination, and is long enough. No QPQ needed. Source spotchecks find no issues with supporting text, or with plagiarism. Earwig also finds no issues. The hook is supported, and I have duplicated the relevant source to the specific hook point in the article. I note the Goodwin source uses "Somaliland pigeon" as an alternative name, which is probably worth including (the citation as written also lacks the journal and page number fields). However, these are not DYK issues, so passing this. CMD (talk) 09:51, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
- Theleeycauldron I have been told before to always use page numbers for DYK. Just seeing what you think. SL93 (talk) 19:04, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

  - @SL93: I've never come across that particular requirement—Narutolovehinata5 or BlueMoonset would know better than I do. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 19:09, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
    - I will restore the approval since the two pinged editors didn't respond and I found nothing in the written rules. However, the article is currently semi-protected per recent vandalism so I'm not sure if stability is an issue at the moment. SL93 (talk) 15:41, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
      - Stability is not an issue, the protection is due to tangential vandalism. CMD (talk) 16:00, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
