Tetrophthalmi
[edit]- ... that four-eyed harvestmen known as Tetrophthalmi once roamed the Earth?
- Reviewed: Wing-assisted incline running
- Comment: Hook is (intentionally) quirky, but I believe within the community's acceptable range. If another hook if preferred, let me know.

- Interesting and sure to generate clicks, although not really cited as a specific fact... A less silly, but still interesting, hook might cite the fact that "H. argus is named for the Greek monster Argos, who had 100 eyes and served the goddess Hera." (From this source) Length of article, etc, all checks out, except for "not a specific fact" as mentioned above. -- Brainy J ~✿~ (talk) 21:30, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
I would say it a combination of two facts (albeit it in a quirky way) - that it is a suborder of harvestmen that is distinguished by having 4 eyes, and that it is extinct. I am going to request a third opinion, but will suggest a new fact if needed. (I would prefer not to use a fact about a species in a suborder article.) --ThaddeusB (talk) 00:49, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
The hook as I see it is appropriate, interesting, and it is sourced. Tetrophthalmi had four eyes, had eight legs, and roamed around on Earth. The article is well written and good to go. I am One of Many (talk) 05:41, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
