Trivial name
[edit]- ... that an antibiotic was nicknamed "Mata Hari", and this was the basis for its trivial name Matamycin?
- ALT1:... that some molecules like cubane have a trivial name based on their shape?
- ALT2:... that after an atomic element has been isolated, it gets a trivial name?
- Reviewed: Crocodylus novaeguineae

Verified:- The expansion is well in excess of 5x. The expansion of the prose took place between 4 and 6 November and has continued since, so this probably should have been nominated under 4 November, but that doesn't really matter at this stage.
- High-quality sources are used, both online and offline. No copyvio, close paraphrasing or plagiarism are apparent from this source or other online sources I have checked.
- Regarding the hooks: all are fine, based on either online or offline sources. Personally, my favourite is the original "Mata Hari" hook.
- Speaking as a non-scientist, I find the article easy to read and understand.
- A QPQ review has been done. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 14:00, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
