• ... that the frog Boophis fayi can be identified by its unusual green and turquoise eyes? Source: "Skeleton frogs are primarily identified by their eyes, and B. fayi has a greenish rather than red iris color and is characterized by green outer irises and turquoise iris peripheries." [1] (Note: I don't know if I can use the picture from IUCN in the article. The eyes are very striking and if allowed, I would like the DYK to have an image. I have previously emailed the author of the paper to use images taken in an article, but he wanted to have a watermark on them.)
  • ALT1:... that the frog Boophis fayi was discovered in 2011 and can only be found in specific regions of Madagascar? Source: "B. fayi can be found in in the lowland rainforests and wetlands of the central east and northeast of Madagascar." [2]
  • ALT2:... that the nocturnal skeleton frog Boophis fayi was discovered in 2011 and can only be found in specific regions of Madagascar? Source: "B. fayi can be found in in the lowland rainforests and wetlands of the central east and northeast of Madagascar." [3]
  • ALT3:... that the nocturnal skeleton frog Boophis fayi can be identified by its unusual green and turqoise irises? Source: Skeleton frogs are primarily identified by their eyes, and B. fayi has a greenish rather than red iris color and is characterized by green outer irises and turquoise iris peripheries." [4] (Note: This feels like too much.)

• New enough when nominated, and long enough. I find the main hook (or ALT3, which is a minor variation) more interesting. This hook is cited and found in the article. Article is interesting, but many statements are uncited. In general every paragraph must end with a citation where the preceding information can be verified, and specific facts (e.g. the ending part of the "Behavior" paragraph) are especially important to cite. As for the image, copyrighted images can't be used in DYK. Your option is either ask the copyright owner to upload it with the appropriate license, or you can upload it to Commons while the copyright owner releases their rights via OTRS. I agree it would be interesting because of the eye colour, but it really depends on the owner's willingness to give permission. QPQ review is missing. HaEr48 (talk) 20:16, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

Ok. I have been putting citations at the first sentence in the paragraph that uses the source, with the following sentences using the same source. I'll move those to the ends of sections. Also, what does QPQ mean? starsandwhales (talk) 23:36, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

QPQ means that in order to pass DYK you need to review another DYK nomination, unless you have only nominated less than five DYKs so far. See WP:DYKRULES, under eligibility criteria no. 5. How many DYKs have you nominated? HaEr48 (talk) 23:51, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

I have only nominated 2 DYKs myself and 2 more in collaboration with other people. starsandwhales (talk) 01:58, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Okay, we're good to go. HaEr48 (talk) 18:03, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
