Created by Cwmhiraeth (talk). Self nominated at 06:25, 17 January 2014 (UTC).

  • Reviewed against the criteria:
  • Okenia zoobotryon - nominated within 2 days of creation, contains "2371 characters (387 words) of readable prose size"
  • Zoobotryon verticillatum - nominated within 3 days of creation, contains "3909 characters (632 words) of readable prose size"
  • Both articles appear to be neutral, free of copyvio or paraphrasing and contain at least one inline ctation per paragraph
→ I will assume good faith on the single offline source in Zoobotryon verticillatum
  • The hook is formatted properly, is interesting and neutral, with 135 charcters, and appears in both articles with the same source cited immediately after the relevant sentences, but there is a slight difference in the wording which I have emphasised below together with two alternatives:
  • the Okenia zoobotryon article says "... and it is likely that these have similar anti-predatory functions in the sea slug".
  • the Zoobotryon verticillatum article says "...and whose tissues then contain many of the same anti-predator chemicals".
The source for the hook is a reliable one but it suggests that the metabolites might be the same in the two species. Therefore I would suggest changing the wording in the Zoobotryon verticillatum article.
  • Two QPQ reviews done by nominator
  • Overall two well written articles needing just a slight rewording in one article, and choosing between three possible hooks. I would prefer ALT2 because it is shorter and snappier. Green Giant (talk) 01:09, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
  • I have altered the Zoobotryon article along the lines you suggest and am happy with ALT2.Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:01, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
