- Updated Hook: ... that while Hypericum olympicum (pictured) has antidepressive, antioxidizing, and antibacterial properties, it is currently only cultivated as an ornamental plant?
- Comment: I've given a few different possible hooks for this article, and while I like the first one the best, the third and fourth have more concrete information to them. I'll leave it to the reviewer to decide which one (if any) would be most appropriate for a DYK.

5x expanded by Fritzmann2002 (talk). Self-nominated at 13:44, 31 May 2019 (UTC).
Article is eligible, having been expanded 5x recently enough. Not preferable that you state in the article "While H. olympicum extracts are not currently used as antibacterials." It would be better if you used an absolute timescale rather than a relative one (i.e. "As of 2019,...") Also, not currently meeting requirements of "at least one citation to a reliable source for each paragraph and direct quote", particularly relating to description section. Plagiarism check completed and no likely plagiarism. All is in order with the image licensing and requirements, and QPQ complete. I like the first hook best, though I wonder if it would be better to say "only used as an ornamental plant" to drive home that it is "just for show". Enwebb (talk) 03:01, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
- I fixed the timescale by adding the year, think that part is taken care of. As for the references, it looks like that is fine now too, as the description is all from the same reference as it is a simplification of N. Robson's description of the plant. I altered the hook to include that it is just an ornamental, feel free to edit it yourself if you think the wording still sounds a little funny. Thanks for the review, anything else that I missed that still needs to be done? Fritzmann2002 T, c, s, t 18:15, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
- Fritzmann2002, how about just one more citation for the text at #Cultivars? Then good to go. Enwebb (talk) 18:34, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
