  • This is a new article (created Nov. 1, 2016), it is long enough (1607 characters with spaces), there are no issues with neutrality, and there are no issues with copyvio or paraphrasing. I think the primary hook is much more interesting to a broad audience than ALT1, though both would be fine (both are under 200 characters). The article creator/nominator has 3 DYK credits and it therefore exempt from QPQ. The image is licensed via creative commons. The only remaining issue is that the claim about Madame Berthe's mouse lemur being the world's smallest primate is not supported by an inline citation to a reliable source. I know that the Madame Berthe's mouse lemur article says it is the world's smallest, but the source cited in this article (the World Wildlife Fund Ecoregion Assessments book) does not say anything about the mouse lemur being the world's smallest primate. Tylototriton, can you add a source to this article that says the mouse lemur is the world's smallest primate? I will note that the language langauge listed in the "source" portion of this nomination template comes from the nominated Wikipedia article, and not the source upon which it relies.

Added reference for Madame Berthe's mouse lemur, thanks for pointing this out. Tylototriton (talk) 18:58, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
Thanks, Tylototriton! The primary hook and ALT1 are now both approved for the main page, though my strong preference is for the primary hook. Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 19:03, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
