Verlorenvlei redfin

edit

Live Verlorenvlei redfin (Pseudobarbus verloreni).

  • ... that the Verlorenvlei redfin (pictured), having lost one of its two habitats, now faces threats from agriculture and invasive species?
  • Reviewed: National Shrine of Saint Jude Thaddeus
  • Comment: The image is there if you want it. However, I think the little letter in the upper left-hand corner kind of makes it undesirable for the main page.

  • Article is new enough and long enough. It only uses one source but it is acceptable (from a peer-reviewed scientific journal). However, it needs references to the other sources mentioned rather than simply 'a 2000 paper published in the Journal of Heredity' etc. It is free from any other issues.
The hook is interesting and of the right length. It is referenced within the article.
The picture is good and relevant. I don't see an issue with the small letter in the corner as it isn't really visible at such a small scale. I'm not sure if the image is free-use as it requires attribution.
Waiting on the completion of National Shrine of Saint Jude Thaddeus and clarification of the image. Then good to go, Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 10:57, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
  • @Gaia Octavia Agrippa: 1) References to the other sources: I have added a citation to the 2000 JoH paper; however, since I have no way of accessing them, I am not going to cite the others. Their conslusions are outlined in the ZooKeys paper and I feel that is sufficient. 2) Image: a Creative Commons license is one of the image licenses acceptable for use on the main page. 3) QPQ: has now been resolved. Hopefully this addresses the issues you saw. G S Palmer (talkcontribs) 16:24, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the clarification about the image. Looks good to go! Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 22:27, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
