• Only 864 characters, & rightly classed as a stub. See the rules at WP:DYK. But could no doubt be expanded - only begun 29 December, but needs doing quickly. Johnbod (talk) 13:47, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

• Ok, now 2206 chars. New, neutral and long enough. No QPQ done - nominator's userpage claims 3 DYKs. Earwig says: "Violation Unlikely, 4.8% confidence". Hook 192 chars, but could be shortened:

• Thanks, and I will be doing a QPQ today :) NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 18:23, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

ALT1.. that the desert bighorn sheep, cougar and threatened Mojave Desert tortoise, are among the animals whose habitat is protected in the Gold Butte National Monument in southeastern Nevada?" saves a bit.

Per the source given ("The monument will serve as a connection between Lake Mead National Recreation Area and the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, protecting a wildlife corridor for desert bighorn sheep, mountain lions and the threatened Mojave Desert tortoise, said Christy Goldfuss, managing director at the White House Council on Environmental Quality.") only the tortoise is threatened, more clearly reflected in my version.

I have removed the stub tag, added 2 pics, and done ALT1, so a re-review should be done. Johnbod (talk) 13:47, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

• This article is new enough and long enough. The ALT1 hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral, Earwig is happy and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:56, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
