... that the orange-necked partridge, native to southern Vietnam and eastern Cambodia, was discovered in 1927 but was "lost" until its rediscovery in 1991? Source: "it was relocated in 1991 having been 'lost' since its initial discovery in 1927" Pheasants, Partridges & Grouse
- ALT1:... that the orange-necked partridge, native to southern Vietnam and eastern Cambodia, was not seen for 64 years after its discovery in 1927?

COMMENT: Hook should mention native to South Vietnam, perhaps after the link to the name of the bird. David notMD (talk) 02:40, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

Added to the hooks. Gulumeemee (talk) 02:46, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

I'll assume by your "Comment", David notMD that you don't plan to review this, in which case I shall.

@Gulumeemee:

Article is long enough (2864 char of "readable prose size" but still marked as stub in the talk page -- I took care of this for you.
Article is new enough (expanded 5x beginning on 30 Nov)
Article passes Earwig; all non-lede paragraphs have citations. :::* Description doesn't seem to be too closely paraphrased.
Article is neutral.
Hooks is interesting, stated in article and referenced.

Although I wonder if it might be better to also make explicit that David-Beaulieu hunted the type specimen earlier that year? I.e., make clear that not only was Delacour's species description published in 1927, but that's also when the specimen was collected.

Either hooks' wording seems fine.
QPQ is done.

Thank you. I added that David-Beaulieu collected the specimen earlier in 1927. Gulumeemee (talk) 09:53, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
