Comment: Rather than nominating these one-by-one (the hooks for which would be about as, or less interesting than this one), I have decided to nominate these articles as one hook to reduce the amount of nominations and potential hooks, and also to quickly use up a number of reviews that I would otherwise not use.
All articles are new enough (created on a range of dates from June 11 to June 13), long enough, and well sourced, including the hook source. Spot checking found no copied text (except from each other, but that's ok). Multiple QPQs all done. The overlong hook is justified by the many new articles listed. I fixed a minor formatting error in
Acropora hoeksemai but otherwise didn't see any problems. Good to go. —

Because of the repetition of content between articles, most of these fall short of the 1500-character minimum.

I'll take a look into the articles soon and try to expand some.

Nikkimaria: I've been looking into whether the articles could fall under
WP:DYKSG#A5, but am unsure about my understanding of that rule. Otherwise, which ones do you believe require expansion?

Over half of them are under 1500 characters once we exclude repeated text.

Thine Antique Pen, #A5 is supposed to refer to old text. If the text is 7 days old or less at the time of nomination, but repeated in multiple nominations, then the usual process has been to simply discount the repeated text rather than require it to be expanded x5. For example, if you have a nominated article that is 3000 characters long but half of that text is identical to text 7 days old or less in another article, then the nominated article is still eligible because the repeated 1500 characters is ignored and the article still has the minimum 1500 characters required. If the nominated article had 1500 chars of repeated text that was more than 7 days old, however, that text would need to be expanded x5 in the nominated article.

Okay, thanks. I'll take a look into them when I get some time, but that won't be for a week or so.

Would it be possible to cut this down to just the articles that are of the required length?
Thine Antique Pen (

I don't see why not.

Now that articles have been expanded sufficiently, the twenty that were expanded should be rechecked to be sure they still meet the Within policy criteria and agree with the hook. Thanks.

There are no images. @
Nikkimaria: has checked lengths, enough cites, hook correct (and I have checked a lot but not all of them as they are nearly identical), neutral, @
David Eppstein: checked praraphrasing and age, all have sufficient refs. This is a great bit of work. I went on a search for images but sadly I couldn't find one although there are a few acropora pix on flickr with the right license. Thanks to all who have contributed to this series of articles .... especially @
