- ... that the female olive tanager, lemon-spectacled tanager and ochre-breasted tanager are difficult to distinguish?
- ALT1:... that identifying the female olive tanager, lemon-spectacled tanager and ochre-breasted tanager is made easier by the fact that they do not share a common range?

5x expanded by Cwmhiraeth (talk). Self-nominated at 06:17, 3 September 2015 (UTC).
Article expansions are new enough, but Olive tanager is not long enough it seems. The character count of prose (including subspecies descriptions) is 789, meaning a 5x expansion should be at least 3,945 characters. The current article is 2406 from what I find. lemon-spectacled tanager and ochre-breasted tanager are both long enough expansions. --Kevmin § 02:37, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Kevmin: Using the page size count function normally used at DYK, the article is 2397B now and was 420B before expansion, ie a fivefold expansion. This page count function does not include bulletted points, and theoretically one could take a stub article with a number of bullet points and convert it into prose and it could qualify as a five-fold expansion without any additional material at all.

- Confirming that DYKcheck considers this a valid 5x expansion from 420 prose characters to 2397 prose characters as of August 29. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:02, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
- I usually dont include bullet points as they are not in prose structure. The reason that I included the bullet points this time was that those points were written as, an read as prose themselves and could have stood in the article as regular sentences. If @BlueMoonset: agrees that they are still to be regarded as bullet points then I cant say much, though it seems like a notable loophole. @Cwmhiraeth:--Kevmin § 17:47, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
- Kevmin, I see what you mean, but bullet points, like tables, are not considered prose. This can indeed bite both ways. My confirmation took this all into account. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:50, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Article expansions are new enough and long enough. Hook is not found in all three articles, with no mention of the Olive tanager in the ochre-breasted tanager article and vice versa. There are no identifiable copyright or policy issues in the three articles and the references are neutral and cited. I would recommend Alt1 when the articles are updated with the hook information.--Kevmin § 01:17, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
- OK, information added, based on the lemon-spectacled tanager entry on p318 of the source. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:25, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
