Adult Monstrilla sp.

• ... that conspicous, shrimp-like adult copepods of the order Monstrilloida (example pictured) do not have mouth parts and do not feed at all, following their sole purpose to find a mate in time?
  • ALT1:... that the free-living, non-feeding adults of the copepod order Monstrilloida (example pictured) develop from endoparasitic larval stages, their only purpose being reproduction?

• Comment: Expanded from a rather short, stub-like previous version, inserting numerous references and images

• The readable prose does not appear to be a fivefold expansion to qualify for DYK yet. The word count was 1206 before expansion, and is 5379 after expansion. This is a difference of 851 characters. Flibirigit (talk) 10:39, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

QPQ: None required.

Overall: Hooks contain subjective wording such as "conspicuous" and "free-living" which are mentioned nowhere in the article. Clarifications are needed. Nominator has not edited in over a month and is unlikely to return in the near future. Article has multiple issues to be resolved I recommend closing this nomination if nodody else is willing to adopt it. Flibirigit (talk) 04:27, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Just a few comments on the above: I checked the prose count, so it makes sense to remove the DYK-nomination, I seriously do not know how to further expand the article without repeating content. As for plagiarism, most of it links to a presentation about copepods on LinkedIn, which probably got its fair share of content from a previous version of this article. However, I tried to paraphrase most of the passages involved. In general, it is very hard to use scientific publications correctly in Wikipedia, especially with a topic where there are only a small amount of those, I feel. I don't want to plagiarize and copy anything, but at the same time it is very dull to read everything in quotation marks. Regarding hooks， "free-living" is mentionend various times in the article. What I mean with that is that they are planktonic and not sessile parasites like the larvae. As for conspicous, that may be subjective, but aren't many hooks pretty subjective? Anyway, thanks for the review. Next time I will try to expand five-fold. Bubbleleg96 (talk) 07:20, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Marked for closure as per comments above to withdraw nomination. Flibirigit (talk) 07:34, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
