Josefa Celsa Señaris

Señaris at conference
- ... that a type of glass frog is named after the nickname of Josefa Celsa Señaris (pictured at conference)?
- ALT1: that the Celsiella, a type of glass frog, was named after Josefa Celsa Señaris?
- Comment: QPQ is Mary Saran. Its short but long enough I think and another woman scientist. Image of her is unclear but hooky?

The article is new enough, long enough (just barely) and the hook is verified by a reliable source. However, some minor copy-editing maybe warranted and the list entries all need citations as well. Also see ALT1 as an alternative to better explain the connection of the frog and the subject. QPQ checks out.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 15:15, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the prompt review @TriiipleThreat:. It is short. We cannot spot any copyeditting. Can you fix (or list) please (although DYK does not require perfection). The list entries are references. It would seem odd to reference the references. I'm not sure about Alt1 as it wasn't named after her but after her nickname. Thanks again Victuallers (talk) 15:45, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, DYK does not require perfection and I do not want to hold up the nomination. There are a lot of short-choppy sentences for an article of this size. I suggest combining a few of them. Also IMHO there is an overuse of the pronoun "she", perhaps you could substitute a few of these with her surname. Thanks for clarifying the list entries. Her nickname is apparently derived from her middle name, I thought it would be better to also show the name of the species so readers can see the connection.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 15:50, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
- I have addressed those suggestions @TriiipleThreat:. I don't agree about the hook. Your alt certainly explains more but I'll let the promoter decide if it is as hooky. I think hooks should be like exotic underwear - they shouldn't show everything. :-) OK? Victuallers (talk) 16:26, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
Fair enough.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 16:33, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
