Xochiquetzallia hannibalii

Moved to mainspace by Rupert Clayton (talk). Self-nominated at 02:42, 8 February 2022 (UTC).

  • Review
    • checkY Newness: Article is new enough, moved to the mainspace from a draft on 7 February
    • checkY Previous: Article has not previously been featured
    • checkY Length: Article is well above the 1500 character minimum length
    • checkY References: Article is well-written, well-referenced, and references are reliable and correctly formatted
    • Image: Image is free and used in the article, but the quality and clarity is a bit touchy. It's pretty clear at the 100x100 size, but the overall resolution is a bit low. I'm indifferent to its use and think it would be fine, but it does also need alt text for accessibility.
    • checkY Hook Info: Looked up the article, the hook is referenced properly and the material is clearly mentioned in the source
    • Hook: The hook is rather verbose, and a bit difficult to read. Personally, I'd recommend a shorter, simplified hook, perhaps:
Shorter would be good. How about including "geophyte" (or just "wildflower") as an indication of what type of organism are in the genus?
  • Overall: great article, definitely exceeding the benchmark for good plant taxon article. Only thing would be a bit of tweaking on the hook, but the fact is really good and interesting. Additionally, need some alt text on the image. Very Respectfully, Fritzmann (message me) 18:33, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for review and kind comments! I added alt text for the image. The low resolution image is probably the best we can do without send a botanist to search for the plant next July. All the species are known only from a few collections, and we only have this image because a botanist was kind enough to release a 20-year-old photo under CC-BY-4.0. Rupert Clayton (talk).
@Rupert Clayton: that sounds good to me, like I said the only necessary part was the alt text. Only thing left would be the actual wording of the hook, just wanted to double tap with your thoughts on that before I give this the big green check mark.

Whoops, think I may have missed your comment on the alt. for ALT4, that reads great. Pleasure to work with you, and congrats on another well-done DYK. Fritzmann (message me) 13:43, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
@Fritzmann2002: Many thanks for the review. Looking forward to seeing this in DYK when there's an opening. Rupert Clayton (talk) 16:57, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
