Individual E. persephone with 1,306 legs

... that Eumillipes persephone is the first species of millipede found to have at least 1,000 legs, and can have up to 1,306 legs? Source: [1]
- ALT1: ... that Eumillipes persephone is the first known "true" millipede? Source: [2]
- Comment: First of all I hope I did this right.

This was created and initially expanded by User:Animalparty. I came along (due to the media attention, gotta have the wiki looking nice for the visitors) did some expansion and changed some stuff around, then realised it would probably be a good DYK. User:Animalparty deserves the credit for this, since they created the article and a good deal of others on similar topics so I'm told. A special mention to User:Aggyrolemnoixytes/Paul Marek, for their role in actually discovering this new species in the first place. Created by Animalparty (talk) and image by Aggyrolemnoixytes. Nominated by The Alternate Mako (talk) at 13:19, 19 December 2021 (UTC).[reply]

ALT2: ... that with 1,000 or more legs, Eumillipes persephone is the first known "true" millipede? Gatoclass (talk) 13:40, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I like that one, a lot more. My support is now for the ALT2 suggested by Gatoclass. Also, would my suggestion of a special sort of mention for Aggyrolemnoixytes be worthwhile? Mako001 (talk) 13:48, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi The Alternate Mako, just saw this on BBC News and came here to see if it had been nominated. I'll take a look at reviewing this. I've added Aggyrolemnoixytes to the credit list, given they've supplied and freely licensed the image I think this is reasonable - Dumelow (talk) 08:47, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article created 16 December; article exceeds minimum length and is well written; sources used are all reliable; I found no issue with overly close paraphrasing from the sources (which were all accessible); hooks are all interesting, though promoter note nominator's preference for ALT2, mentioned in article and check out to the sources cited; image is excellent (we are so lucky Aggyrolemnoixytes/Paul Marek, the original researcher, is willing to share these freely) and properly licensed; nominator is exempt from QPQ requirement, as no previous nominations found. Looks fine to me, good work all round - Dumelow (talk) 09:07, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Image sizing

When I click on the infobox image, I get a full-screen display of that image, as I would expect. However, when I click on the lower images, they display in the File: page at a size vastly bigger than my 24" screen can encompass. I have tried fiddling with the multi-image template, without success. Can someone fix it? --Verbarson ^talk_edits 16:56, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
