- AryKun, the 5x expansion rule applies to prose, not page size. As the article has grown from 379 words to over 2000, it is eligible. Please continue with your review. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 08:56, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
@Hahelen:, I'll take this over. There are multiple uncited paragraphs that have been delinquent for some time now. I will fail this if it's not resolved within the next few days. You've had over a month to resolved them and were last notified 20 days ago that these are an issue. 🏵️Etrius ( Us) 01:21, 3 April 2024 (UTC) General eligibility:

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: QPQ not necessary. No pics. The hook is clunky and poorly worded (It begs, the question more than giving a snappy factoid) there might be something interesting in there but you're gonna have to reword it or provide an alternative. Spotchecks find the phrase The elytra usually have more or less evident epipleura
, which is pushing some close paraphrasing. Earwig is clear. Multiple citations are missing from the prompt.
