Remaining Tasks

I have still not been able to find a reliable source that talks about the bees that visit Delphinium geyeri. I've often seen them, but no personal observations. If anyone has a source it would be much appreciated. MtBotany (talk) 22:25, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Created by MtBotany (talk). Self-nominated at 00:01, 4 July 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Delphinium geyeri; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Hi MtBotany, welcome to DYK! Article is moved to mainspace recently, with sufficient length. Hook verified and cited inline – bit of rewording involved but I believe the information remains the same. QPQ not yet needed. Good to go. Juxlos (talk) 13:20, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks Juxlos, I've added a rewording of the hook as ALT1 and added a reference to the alt just in case there is any doubt it is commonly called poisonweed in Wyoming, book about weeds published by Western US Land Grand Universities.
