- Comment: I'm still working on improving the article, but I've got it to much more than 5x and would be ready for the show today, though I think I can get it a bit better by the time it would show up in DYK. I think my hook is pretty good, but I'm open to suggestions about different ones. I tried to come up with something from with the dye properties, but could not come up with a good wording. Something about orange paintbrush can actually make deer skins black?

Overall: 
You didn't actually need to do the qpq; you only have 4 credits that I can see using the tool, so you can use the qpq review for another nomination later if you want. ALT0's more pithy and better than ALT1; if you want one based on the dying properties, I'd suggest ALT2: ... that orange paintbrushes dye deerskin black? AryKun (talk) 18:41, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- @AryKun, I did know I was under the count for "free" DKY, but I figured I should start doing DYK reviews since I plan on keeping going as long as I keep finding interesting/weird/surprising facts about plants as I edit pages. I think I might have another hummingbird/plant fact that I'm going to try to time for coming out as they get ready to bloom in May. Meanwhile maybe I should try to do a few tropical or European plants so I'm not all western US all the time. Thanks for the review. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 23:40, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
