  • Well its long enough and well reffed. The hooks have a ref each (in Spanish). There is no loaded language and no image. I would use Tomes's sword-nosed bat (or even a bat with a long nose) in the main hook to show readers its not a rather boring leaf mould, but its still a good hook. Apart from learning to speak Spanish then thats the best I can do. Reads well, well done. Victuallers (talk) 23:01, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the review on bat woman Victuallers! I didn't call it "Tome's sword-nosed bat" because all the Spanish sources called it the "Bolivian sword-nosed bat" or "common sword-nosed bat". Other than the scientific name being the same, there isn't a tie in to the reference to "Tome's" that I was able to find and I don't know why our article on the Lonchorhina aurita calls it that (it looks like that was the name of a book that published information about it rather than what any Spanish source would call the bat whose territory is completely in Central, South America and the Caribbean?). I also wasn't sure if one could call it the "Lonchorhina aurita bat" or "bat, Lonchorhina aurita" because I have no idea what naming protocols for creatures actually are. Whatever the promoter is fine with I am too. SusunW (talk) 23:30, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
  • @Victuallers:, @SusunW: For the purpose of a hook, I don't think we need to worry about what Spanish sources call Lonchorhina aurita (which should always be italicized, in any case) for the English Wikipedia, and a common-name that establishes it as an animal will be more interesting to readers than an unfamiliar scientific name. "Tomes's sword-nosed bat" or even "Common sword-nosed bat" I think is much preferable to Lonchorhina aurita, for a hook that wil actually hook readers. --Animalparty!

  • Animalparty As I said, I'm good with whatever. I've been burned before on what was a pretty straight forward DYK on a name not matching sources. Still have one floating here only because a reviewer couldn't decide if it should be approved if the subject's name didn't exactly match the sources (Beverly Loraine Greene/Beverly L. Greene/Beverly Greene). So, I am hesitant to differ from the sources. I'd prefer "common sword-nosed bat" to Tomes if we can go that way. SusunW (talk) 22:42, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
I'm still OK with hooks above, however maybe we could just fudge the name of the bat...Victuallers (talk) 23:45, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
I am dying laughing. Obviously, we all like the bat reference best ;) What about this one Victuallers? SusunW (talk) 23:56, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
