  • Comment: Re-opening nomination due to GA, trying to keep a bot from removing it

Improved to Good Article status by Diogenes99 (talk). Self-nominated at 01:58, 22 April 2019 (UTC).

  • Congrats on bringing this to GA! :) This was still on my watchlist from last time you nominated it, so I was glad to see it again. :)
  • Promoted to GA within the last 7 days, so length/newness ok, no major policy issues. As for the hook, it's "hooky," but I've added an ALT1 for these reasons: add context for what the D means, change from "scarlet" to "red" since that seems to be what's in the text, link the colony. Also a copyedit to, among other reasons, ensure the new version isn't any longer than the original (which is on the longer side, but not too long). The hook is cited. The source isn't linked, so I can't verify it myself, but I think we can AGF. QPQ isn't necessary as it's one of the nominator's first 5 nominations.
  • I think we're just about good to go here. Thoughts on ALT1, Diogenes99? — Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:48, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
  • BTW I just posted Wikipedia_talk:Did_you_know#Renomination_procedure? because I'm not sure if there's a particular procedure to renominate something. Probably not a big deal. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:51, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
  • - good to go. (though it looks like we'll need to figure out moving the page -- will require an admin to preserve the history, though). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 04:26, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
  • Just noting for anyone who may be unclear on this: Amakuru has gone ahead and fixed this issue. This nomination is GTG. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 15:45, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
