Dibatag edit
Dibatag
... that the dibatag is one of the antelopes most difficult to hunt due to its excellent camouflage?
5x expanded by Sainsf (talk). Self-nominated at 06:01, 19 January 2016 (UTC).
This substantial article is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain, the article is neutral, and I did not detect any copyright issues. I am not happy with the hook however, the claim is a bit vague, being just a matter of judgement, and there is no inline citation for it. How about an entirely different hook, about the rock painting for example? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:44, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
- Alright, I think now I have placed the citation in a better way. I guess you are right, it may be too qualitative. Your suggestion is good, but I am too naive when it comes to DYKs. Could you please adjust the hook to make it look interesting? Sainsf <^>Talk all words 08:38, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
- Well, this is nearing the deadline. How about:
- ALT1 ... that rock paintings of the dibatag have been discovered on the west bank of the Nile River, far from its present range? Sainsf <^>Talk all words 03:55, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, I forgot to add this page to my watchlist, but the deadline was for nomination not finalisation of the process! ALT1 is fine and the hook facts have inline citations, so this is good to go with ALT1. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:03, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
