Aegista diversifamilia
edit- ... that Aegista diversifamilia (pictured) was named in recognition of the same-sex marriage movement in Taiwan?
- Reviewed: Steak burger
- Comment: The image is there if you want it. Personally, I don't think it shows up too well at this size, and would lean toward leaving it out.

The article is long enough. The article is new enough. I leveled it up from stub to start since it meets criteria. The hook is well written. It is supported by multiple independent secondary sources, as well as the primary source. Wikimedia commons has other images available that may be of interest, since the current image is small. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Aegista_diversifamilia I am still a novice DYK reviewer , so would request another reviewer give the final okay, but looks good to me. —Gaff ταλκ 20:48, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
- @Gaff: Thanks for the review. To use one of the images from Commons, it would have to be worked into the article somehow (per Wikipedia:Did you know#Images). G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 22:48, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
- @G S Palmer: One of the images of the shell could be worked into the paragraph on description, to help illustrate that section. Do you think it would be a better picture that the current image? —Gaff ταλκ 23:15, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
@Gaff: besides the checks you did, you also need to check for WP:Close paraphrasing, to see whether the article copies the source too closely. Yoninah (talk) 16:37, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- To add to what Yoninah said, it would also be a good idea to check if the image is properly licensed. G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 17:03, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- I will do further review re: close paraphrase. Am I allowed to "fix" close paraphrasing if I find it or am I supposed to kick it back to the nominator? Image license checks out: "This image is uploaded as part of a collaboration between Wikispecies and ZooKeys" I confirmed image source is as reported and checked that the collaboration is the real deal. —Gaff ταλκ 18:37, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

· Source reads "Penis slender and long. Epiphallus slender, longer than penis."/ Article reads: "The penis is long and thin, but shorter than the epiphallus." This seems a bit close paraphrasing, but probably acceptable, since not a lot of other ways to convey the language. WP contributor has obviously made efforts to change wording and paraphrase, but again, most is obtained from the only available source that would cover description of reproductive system of a snail. Similar comments re: the Range and habitat section being similar to the Ecology section in article. @G S Palmer: or Yoninah can either of you comment? I think this is okay, but my own edits are being questioned at present for close paraphrasing at Template:Did you know nominations/Cream-spotted cardinalfish —Gaff ταλκ 18:51, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- "Close paraphrasing" means word-by-word or sentence-by-sentence copying. What you've mentioned here is not close paraphrasing; it's an effort to avoid close paraphrasing. And yes, if you see stuff that's copied verbatim from the sources, you're allowed to change it to help the nomination go through. Yoninah (talk) 19:17, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
Good to go. Above issues have been addressed: article meets criteria (new, long enough, within policies outlined); hook meets format/content guidelines; image source evaluated; QPQ done. —Gaff ταλκ 20:08, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
