- Driveby comment I've been thinking about April Fools' Day hooks, what with Halloween coming up and some editors finding some hooks misleading. It occurs to me that something like "... that crickets can be used as thermometers?" might be fun for April 1. RebeccaGreen (talk) 10:52, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi SL93, review follows: Article sufficiently expanded (5.09x) on 29 October; article is of good length and well written; article is cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't notice any overly close paraphrasing from the sources cited (I reworded one sentence that was left from the pre-expansion article, as it was identical to the Encyclopaedia Britannica article); hook fact is interesting, mentioned in article and check out to the source cited; QPQ has been done. Looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 13:01, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
