A fact from Cirsium funkiae appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 29 May 2022 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the newly named Cirsium funkiae honors the describer's mentor,
Vicki Funk, and the plant's funky appearance?

Comment: You are welcome to propose ALT hooks, as I struggled with properly wording this. I wanted to write "the discoverer's "funky" mentor" but Ackerfield explicitly refused this designation, rightly so. Since that is off the table, I could possibly reword it to another term, but I'm not entirely sure as to what. Someone who is more well versed in the terminology educate me! Thank you in advance to the reviewer!
@
Ornithoptera: Its neutral, new, long enough and well referenced. The interesting hook has a reliable ref. I see no close paraphrasing and it looks compliant with DYK requirements. Nice contribution.

Comments only. IMO the hook works even if you remove the word "funky" especially if you add quote marks to the first mention of the word. DYK that the newly named "Funky" thistle(pictured) honors the flamboyant
Vicki Funk and the plant's funky appearance? I would choose the second pic as it shows the funky flower head and it is more eye catching. HTH. I think Jennifer A. needs her own article! and Vicky Funk's article should mention the honour given by her mentor.

I definitely welcome the alternative hook
Victuallers! You are welcome to propose it, I don't mind! Also Jennifer Ackerfield definitely deserves her own article, if you wish take the initiative please do let me know!

Its only a rephrase - you could just change the hook, but here is the alt hook. Jennifer Ackerfield would get an article but there is no picture available and I really want to encourage visible women. (She won't be "discovered" yet:-) )
