I don't know anything about DYK procedures, but must point out that I didn't write any of the text of this article, but only added a reference, so I don't want any official credit. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:30, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

I appeal to put it as the main DYK hook, because over a hundred of articles links to this one. Thank you. --Snek01 (talk) 00:31, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
It's not bad. Some issues are that "originally" seems weak, 450 is a lower number than 1,467, two links are side by side ("...When possible, avoid placing links next to each other so that they look like a single link.."), many visitors are more familiar with the word "species" than "taxa", and may not click for that reason, and the malacology link distracts and draws clicks away from the subject. Just my two cents. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:28, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
But, it's shorter, and that's a plus. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:29, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

I like it! :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:57, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Needs a full review of the article against DYK criteria; no sign that one has been done in the many comments above. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:14, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
  • New enough, long enough, free from copyright issues. I like ALT3. Good to go. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 16:38, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
