DYK Snowy Plover

Hi Bruxton, thanks for your input in Template:Did you know nominations/Snowy plover. Since that discussion is closed, I am not sure how to respond to your question, so I am responding to you here. I am not quite seeing the problem you pointed out yet. In the original hook, the "often" implies that not all of them are always doing this. The article has an almost identical sentence: Snowy plovers are facultative polygamous, with females, and less frequently males, often abandoning their mate soon after the chicks have hatched. Your alternative (with "some" instead of "often") is technically correct, but gives the impression that this behavior is rather the exception – which is it not, it is very common. Also, "some" implies that some individuals are doing it and others not, which is also not the case: An individual might abandon one brood but stick to it for the next one. Therefore I think that the original variant (with "often") is slightly better. But let me know if is miss something here. Jens Lallensack (talk) 17:06, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

@Jens Lallensack: Thanks for the message. I will change the hook to your choice. I will also move this message to the nomination. Bruxton (talk) 17:22, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
