• article is new enough and in good shape. QPQ checks out. Earwig is triggered but because only because it's scanning the references section as prose. Hook is sourced inline. However - could we get page numbers in the citations using {{rp}} or similar for some of these larger articles Pbritti? ~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 04:30, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• @Darth Stabro: Page numbers added. Most of those facts (besides the measurements) are repeated a couple times in that article revising that section of the genus, so feel welcome to add additional pages if desired. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 04:45, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
