  • Rhododendrites is this a 5x expansion nomination? From the edit history, it looks like the article was created on January 15, 2021‎, and then an expansion beginning on May 19, 2021 (not May 20 where the article currently is located on the DYK nom page). Assuming that is the case (unless you moved the article into main space from a user page), a character count shows that the article's prose has not been expanded sufficiently. The character count before expansion was 1118 characters, making the target expansion count 5,590 characters. The article currently has 3,874 characters which is 1,716 characters short of a 5x expansion. In the future, when you nominate an article make sure you indicate whether the article is new or expanded in the template. Also, make sure you place the article under the time stamp date of when the expansion began or the article was first created. This nomination should have been placed under May 19, not May 20. I will hold off on doing a further review until these issues are addressed. On a positive note, I enjoyed reading this article and the pictures are lovely.4meter4 (talk) 16:45, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
  • @4meter4: It was in a sandbox. May 20 is the day it was moved. Articles that have been worked on exclusively in a user or user talk subpage or at articles for creation or in the Draft namespace and then moved (or in some cases pasted) to the article mainspace are considered new as of the date they reach the mainspace. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:02, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
Thank you. You may want to leave a comment for reviewers next time to make that clear ahead of time in future noms. I will continue reviewing momentarily.4meter4 (talk) 17:05, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
Article is new enough, long enough, and within policy. The hook fact is verifiable to the cited reference and the length is fine. Rhododendrites, the only issue I can see is that the QPQ has not been done. I will take a look at the pics shortly.4meter4 (talk) 17:35, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
@4meter4: QPQ in progress. It was over deadline, so I quickfailed, but I've learned some people provide leeway for newbies, which is fine by me. I left a message clarifying some of the other issues for the nominator yesterday. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:38, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
@Rhododendrites: It's ok if the review is not finished and is ongoing. Just provide a link here to the article review, so we know you are committed to an ongoing review for your QPQ. If you look at Template:Did you know nominations/Philip Ewell, I cited this review for my QPQ even though this review is not yet finished.4meter4 (talk) 18:40, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
@4meter4: I don't understand. what, other than the link which is already there above, should I include? — Rhododendrites talk \\ 18:44, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
Apologies, I didn't see the reviewed link. My eyes glazed over it for some reason. My mistake. Forget about the QPQ issue.4meter4 (talk) 18:48, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Approving hook for promotion. Comment on pics for promoter. All of the pics are usable, as an e-mail approving their use has been sent through the proper channels according to policy. I prefer the first two images on the left, simply because the text is shorter under the pictures. The text on the pics on the right is too long for what we typically approve at DYK.4meter4 (talk) 18:48, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

No worries. As for the images, I have no problem altering the captions so as to select the best one for the main page. I'm inclined towards File:Toni kestrel phyllis tseng wbf.jpg (OTRS has now received the permission [just waiting to get those emails processed] FYI), but also content to leave it up to the promoter. Any of them can just be reduced to "[bird] being treated at the Wild Bird Fund". — Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:06, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
I shortened the text per your suggestion. I'll leave it to the promoting admin to choose a picture.4meter4 (talk) 19:42, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
