 * Symbol question.svg 5x expanded, in time, long enough, sourced, no apparent copyvios, QPQ done., the hook generally accords with the source (it "is one of the important pests of pine plantations"), although I think "most" should be dropped. What is the source for the line in the article that "maritime pine [is] an important plantation crop of the Mediterranean region"? --Usernameunique (talk) 19:09, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the review. I have added a reference to the article and substituted ALT1 for the original hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:08, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg All set now. --Usernameunique (talk) 05:12, 17 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Concerning word choice in the hook, I wonder if a less ambiguous word than "important" would help give readers more clarity. Because the way it is worded, it is almost like infestations are a good thing, which I would very much imagine they are not. 47.185.218.146 (talk) 03:04, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I have suggested ALT2 to address your concerns. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:38, 19 June 2019 (UTC) |}}
