An interesting article which is long enough, within policy and well sourced. As far as I can see, it was moved into mainspace on February 28th and not March 1st, but no matter! The hook is appropriately referenced. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:45, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
The article isn't even in the hook! Please do a real review. Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:01, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

- ALT2: ... that many mechanisms are used to make animal navigation possible, such as Rayleigh polarization (pictured) of light in the sky used by honey bees to indicate direction? --Epipelagic (talk) 19:14, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
Hook source accepted in good faith. Date okay. Use ALT1. Ready to go. -SusanLesch (talk) 17:53, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
