Aptostichus barackobamai
- ... that Aptostichus barackobamai is a species of spider named after the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama? Source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/in-the-loop/wp/2014/04/26/a-parasite-named-obama/
Improved to Good Article status by Etriusus (talk). Self-nominated at 00:19, 11 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Aptostichus barackobamai; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Qpq is good. Article checks out in, both in eligibility and general quality (in terms of neutrality, sourcing, prose, etc.) Source checks out as well.
- I feel that the hook could be made a bit punchier (eg;"is a spider species named after Barack Obama?"), since viewers are probably aware that Barack Obama was President of the United States; but this is just personal taste and doesn't have to do with hook eligibility.
