 * Symbol question.svg 2444 B. Park part verified by online reference. New veried. Inline citation for "star of Bethlehem". Probably it could be better for a Christmas appearance. Also, IMO the hook can be made more interesting, if "restricted distribution in the Torndirrup National Park and Albany regions of the South West Botanical Province" (and no other place on Earth) can be capitalised. I strongly recommend the pictured can be removed from the hook. Redtigerxyz  Talk 07:16, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok - ALT1 ... that the star of Bethlehem can be found only in Torndirrup National Park? can we keep till Xmas or is that too far away? Happy to keep...Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:32, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Isn't Calectasia grandiflora also called "blue tinsel lily"??
 * Would this also work for April Fools' Day? Just wondering; I'm not being sacrilegious. Yoninah (talk) 19:22, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah I think so.....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:57, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
 * what about my other question? Isn't Calectasia grandiflora also called "blue tinsel lily"? Another nomination on DYK is Calectasia grandiflora, called the "blue tinsel lily". How many blue tinsel lilies are there? Yoninah (talk) 16:14, 22 March 2015 (UTC)


 * A couple of comments: while April Fool's could work, we're already far beyond the number of submissions that two slots can support, so it might not be able to run then. And, since Christmas is well over six weeks away, the hook cannot be saved for that special occasion: at this point, early May is as late as you can go. Sorry for the not-great news.

 * only birds have official names - many other organisms - fish/plants/insects have names which care used for other species etc. The name "blue tinsel lily" has been applied to a few....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 19:45, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg OK, let's move on this. New enough, long enough, adequately referenced, neutrally written, no close paraphrasing seen. QPQ done. But I don't see an inline source for the hook fact. And it seems misleading to say in ALT1 that it is "only" found in the park, when the article states: "The Star of Bethlehem has a very restricted distribution in the Torndirrup National Park and Albany regions of the South West Botanical Province".

 * If you look in ref 2, and Cntrl-F this text "As the species is only currently known from a single population within the Torndirrup National Park, it cannot be considered to have a fragmented distribution", you will see it. However, it doesn't seem to gell with the other ref, unless it is being optimistic about the range. I will just look at dates of journalsCas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:15, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok - ALT2 ... that the critically endangered star of Bethlehem can be found in Torndirrup National Park? also added ref to sentence Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:20, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
 * If you delete the "critically endangered" part, it will be a great hook. Yoninah (talk) 21:21, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
 * done. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:26, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you. ALT2 hook ref verified and cited inline. This is perfect for the quirky slot! Good to go Yoninah (talk) 21:39, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
