New enough, long enough, the hook checks out.
I'm not ticking this one yet simply because the sentence "She studied bay wrens, howler monkeys, island foxes and mountain gorillas, including an incident ..." doesn't sound right. Rephrase maybe? --Moscow Connection (talk) 01:27, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Moscow Connection: it's a direct quote. It would be difficult to rephrase without problematic close paraphrasing, which is why I left it as a quote. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:21, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
- I was talking about the word "including". "Studied gorillas, including ...". --Moscow Connection (talk) 02:29, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
- Oh, that. I guess you're right; that doesn't match the initial verb very well. Rephrased as two sentences. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:47, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
