Created by Cisca85 (talk). Nominated by Achaea (talk) at 20:35, 16 January 2020 (UTC).
New enough. Barely long enough (>1700 chars). Reliable inline citations throughout. Neutral if dryly written. Hook's citation checks out. It's more interesting than ALT1. I assume he is a notable scientist and/or TV personality to have a Wiki article. That said, QPQ is done. GTG. Hybernator (talk) 18:50, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but it's very skimpy for a biographical article. I added some leads to personal information and research papers on the talk page. Yoninah (talk) 22:56, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
Missing biographical information
editWhere was he born? Who are his parents? Who is his family? Here are some leads:
And what about a selected bibliography?
- Karim (1994) The evolution and function of the spermatophylax in bushcrickets (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae). PhD thesis, University of Nottingham.
- Male genital titillators and the intensity of post-copulatory sexual selection across bushcrickets
- Emerging issues in the evolution of animal nuptial gifts

- @Yoninah: Have added in some more info about his work on Guernsey and a selected bibliography, but couldn't find any more information about his birth date and parents etc. The artsbeat gave me a magazine, but I couldn't find the article you were referring to. Hope you're okay with current improvements (but feel free to add stuff if you can). Achaea (talk) 06:03, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
