Illustration of Heuglin's gazelle

I meant the Italian period year actually, but the source I looked at was vague. Johnbod (talk) 15:24, 13 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Striking both hooks because parenthetical comments, such as "(19th to 20th centuries)", are not allowed in hooks (see WP:DYKSG#C9). Getting a better colonial date, as Johnbod suggests, is one way to deal with the issue; another is phrasing like "over a century" or whatever the actual time period is that it hasn't been seen. Sainsf, you'll need to supply a new hook (or hooks). Thanks, and sorry for the bad news. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:49, 30 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
  •   This article is 5x expanded and a recently promoted GA and is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain, the ALT2 hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:19, 4 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Comments

  • Done
  • " nearly 67 cm" sounds oddly precise. All examples are "nearly 67cm" tall? Is that 66cm?
  • Only one source gives the shoulder height and the number is indeed 67, presumably an average but it doesn't mention the sample size.
  • "measure 15 to 35 cm (5.9 to 13.8 in)." in length.
  • Done
  • Second lead para is a bit lumpy, several very short sentences, not flowing nicely.
  • I have combined and rephrased a few lines, let me know how it looks.
  • "an altitude of 1,400 m" do you really mean elevation?
  • Yes, fixed
  • "with less than 2,500" fewer
  • Done
  • "They are spaced 119–173 cm (47–68 in) apart at the base" the horns are spaced more than a metre apart at their base???
  • My bad, put cm instead of mm. Fixed
  • "(16–37 in) .[6][4] " no space after parenthesis and ref order in numerical order.
  • Fixed
  • " close to the fence" what fence?
  • Of the enclosure, added.
  • "(nearly six months)" not necessary.
  • Removed
  • " calf is born. Calves are born" repetitive.
  • Fixed
  • Explain/link IUCN.
  • Linked
  • '(Heuglin, 1868)' in the infobox but 1863 in prose.
  • Corrected to 1863

That's all I have, so I'm putting it on hold. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 09:55, 21 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
