 * Comment Please do not change the information in the source. I have added a "failed verification" template. --(AfadsBad (talk) 15:03, 12 March 2014 (UTC))
 * This matter has been resolved. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:08, 15 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Note to reviewers Issues with this article will be resolved on the talk page, a good idea. The article is not yet ready for the main page until further issues are resolved. --(AfadsBad (talk) 15:43, 15 March 2014 (UTC))


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed of both articles and the hook. I don't see any evidence of outstanding issues in either article or their talk pages. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:22, 28 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Cwmhiraeth removed the comments about issues--she seems to be saying they don't go here, ignores them when they are on article talk pages and will only discuss them to a limited degree on user talk pages, but won't and can't correct the issues. Like all of Cwmhiraeth's articles that have taxonomy sections, there remain issues. It would be nice to correct them before "showcasing" them on the main page like the prior 1300 articles she has written with taxonomy issues. --(AfadsBad (talk) 04:56, 28 March 2014 (UTC))


 * Euglossa dilemma new, referenced and large enough. no copyvio.
 * Ficus altissima new, referenced and large enough.
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Hook - not confirmed by reference - reference states that the Ficus altissima became invasive after the introduction of a polinating wasp, Eupristina not this bee. So I suggest correcting the article and coming up with a new hook, as the rest of the criteria seem satisfied. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:22, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes indeed, that was careless of me, I am surprised that my chief critic did not notice! There is nothing particular to connect the two articles now so I have rewritten the bits of the articles concerned and reduced this nomination to a single hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:53, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
 * None of the articles of yours that I have looked at should be considered to have had an exhaustive or methodical search. I will emphasize that in your editor review, that I've just grabbed errors, not methodically checked. Of course, Wikipedia has plenty of competent editors who will find more. --(AfadsBad (talk) 12:26, 5 April 2014 (UTC))


 * ALT1 ... that the green orchid bee (pictured) has taken up residence in Florida?
 * Symbol confirmed.svg hook ALT1 is referenced and confirmed by reference. Copyvio check passed. Now good to go. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:59, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I think we could give the hook better context by saying:
 * ALT2 ... that the green orchid bee (pictured), native to Central America, has taken up residence in Florida?
 * and, thoughts?  S ven M anguard   Wha?  04:34, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * That's fine by me. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:44, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes ALT2 is in article and confirmed by reference, so good to go with ALT2 too. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:31, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
