This article is new enough and long enough. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. I find the hook uninteresting; more interesting, in my opinion, would be where the fossils were found or why the species was so named. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:46, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
- Alt1 that Acer ferrignoi was named for James Ferrigno, who supplied access to Smithsonian fossils to scientists describing the extinct maple?
- How about this?--Kevmin § 00:38, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
Thank you. I consider Alt1 is more interesting and have struck the original hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:45, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
