clouded leopard
Captive clouded leopard

Improved to Good Article status by BhagyaMani (talk). Self-nominated at 14:16, 21 December 2020 (UTC).
New enough (promoted to GA on 20 December), long enough and written within policy. The image licensing is fine. Both hooks are nice, but have some issues. ALT0 doesn't seem right; the article states that "The clouded leopard is estimated to have been the first cat that genetically diverged from the common ancestor of the pantherine species 9.32 to 4.47 million years ago, based on analysis of their nuclear DNA." which is not equal to saying it was more than five million years ago. More than four, yes - please change the ALT0. ALT1 is a nice, "hooky", hook but the sentence in the article with this claim is not directly supported by an inline citation, which it has to be according to DYK rules. Please supply a direct support for the statement in the article. Lastly, there is no QPQ done and I would like to know why - is this one of your first DYK nominations? Please address these issues and then the article should be ready for DYK. Yakikaki (talk) 13:33, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for you reply at your talk page, BhagyaMani! Original hook is now good to go. For the second hook, the inline citation supporting the claim would still need to be placed right after this sentence: "Captive clouded leopards have been observed to climb down vertical tree trunks head first, and hang on to branches with their hind paws bent around branchings of tree limbs.", in accordance with rule 3a of DYK. And let me know the situation about the QPQ, is this one of your first DYK nominations? Otherwise you have to review another DYK nomination before I can pass the article.

- I just added the inline citation right after this sentence. Re QPQ: this is my 2nd DYK nomination, though the 1st one for the sand cat was rejected as I had DYK nominated this one too late. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 15:03, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
