 * Symbol question.svg File:Notropis heterodon.jpg is a non-free file which means that it is only allowed to be used in the article namespace per WP:NFCC; therefore, I have WP:HIDDEN so that it is not displayed in this template. I am not sure how this affects the over DYK nomination of the article, but Wikipedia's non-free use policy is quite clear that this kind of use is not acceptable. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:31, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Ah my bad. hadn't realized. We can lose the image no problem. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 02:32, 9 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed. The previous image has been removed and a new non-free image has subsequently been uploaded and used in the article. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:41, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced. However, there is close paraphrasing from the source. The description of the teeth in two rows is WP:LIMITED, but I think you should rephrase these descriptions:
 * Source: During the breeding season, the male blackchin shiner can become golden-yellow and may develop wart-like nodules on the top of its head and pectoral fins
 * Article: During the breeding season, the male blackchin shiner can become a golden-yellow color. He may also develop wart-like nodules on the top of his head and pectoral fins.
 * Source: Midges have been found in the guts of blackchin shiners, which indicates that this species can feed on small flying insects at the water’s surface
 * Article: Midges have been found in the guts of blackchin shiners, it is believed that this species can feed on small flying insects at the water’s surface.
 * ok, I distanced them from the source Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 04:05, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Also, the first 3 paragraphs under Description lack citations, per WP:DYKSG. Hook ref verified and cited inline. Image in article is fair use. QPQ done. Yoninah (talk) 22:27, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for fixing the close paraphrasing. The third paragraph under Description needs a cite. Yoninah (talk) 09:54, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I hunted for a source for that before. Needed a break. Will look in a bit. I removed the para as it is very general and doesn't pertain specifically to this species. I increased the lead to keep the 5x expansion valid. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 09:55, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
 * OK, but the page before expansion was 1324 characters, and now it is 6463 characters, 31 characters shy of a 5x expansion. And the image is nominated for deletion. Yoninah (talk) 14:17, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
 * This has been heavy going but is 6878 characters now...Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 06:12, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you. Expansion verified and no close paraphrasing seen. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 10:02, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
