Kev min § 00:00, 30 November 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Both hooks good (though I suspect that hook 1 is more likely to be chosen). I would recommend that you expand the lede a little more and add temporal range information to the taxobox (if you don't know more precise ranges, just list "Early Eocene." PrimalMustelid (talk) 11:38, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Precise fossil range added, I seem to have totally forgot about it during the initial article outlining when i normally add it. (51-49mya Ypreisan). I also added a bit more to the lede.--Kev min § 17:30, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A. heterogena hindwing

@Kevmin: Is there a reason for including a diagram of "Austrogynacantha heterogena annotated hindwing veins" in this article? I can see that it's a related species, but the relevance of this wing or image is not clear from the article. The same image has also ended up in DYK Queue 2, and I think it would be misleading to include it there. — RAVENPVFF · talk · 17:37, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ravenpuff: I did not have that image in the initial nomination, only in the article itself to provide reference to the wing vein architecture. It seems that when the group was moved to queue 2 by @RoySmith: he swapped the nomination to the image slot with this image and not the fossil image. it should be swapped out.--Kev min § 18:18, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kevmin @Ravenpuff Ugh, my bad. I was trying to fix up a problem with a different hook, discussed in WT:DYK#Mountain Landscape. I'll pick this up there. RoySmith (talk) 18:25, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
