Broad-tailed paradise whydah

 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough, within policy. Hooks verified. Hooks are interesting, I like the first hook. Everything OK, good to go. Snek01 (talk) 12:07, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I expanded the orange-winged pytilia article and reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Chelidonura fulvipunctata, but the expansion is not within seven days of the expansion of the broad-tailed paradise whydah article. Am I allowed to add the orange-winged pytilia to the hook, or do I have to create a new nomination? Gulumeemee (talk) 06:02, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Add a double hook right here if you like. Snek01 (talk) 23:22, 11 January 2017 (UTC)


 * ALT2: ... that the broad-tailed paradise whydah parasitises the orange-winged pytilia and mimics its call?
 * This hook uses the same source as ALT1. I think the second article needs to be reviewed. Gulumeemee (talk) 05:05, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough, within policy. Hook ALT2 verified. Good to go. Snek01 (talk) 15:57, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Note: striking earlier hooks so ALT2 with both articles is used. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:22, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
