Henry C. Kellers

 * ... that Lieut. Henry C. Kellers of the U.S. Navy collected over 10,000 biological specimens from the Philippines for the Smithsonian Institute in 1929?
 * ALT1:... that Lieut. Henry C. Kellers of the U.S. Navy discovered the sea urchins Zenocentrotus kellersi and Z. paradoxus in Tongo in 1930?
 * Comment: This article currently has only 1493 characters, but could easily be twice as long with materials from this, this and this added. Gotta nominate this article now before it gets more than 5 days old.  I hope Sarah can come back and finish this article soon. Or maybe she can do this while travelling across South America.... BTW, we don't have the wikiarticles for the seas urchins yet (Hello, Cwmhiraeth! Interested?), so ALT1 is potentially a triple DYK hook, and I would like to "pre-emptively" nominate them now.  :-) --PFHLai (talk) 04:43, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg There was a little tweaking that needed to be done and now it has 1515 characters. Even if the other articles were written now, this one is too old now for the triple (IMO). There is currently nothing in the article to support the ALT. So I am accepting it based on the original hook. I will note that there are only 2 sources.  I personally do not have a problem with that for an article this size, I just bring it up because I was once told in a review that 5 was not enough for a short, new article. I'm not sure if we have a standard amount. --Ishtar456 (talk) 10:49, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
 * not sure I love the idea of nominating articles that have not been written yet, although I admire your enthusiasm.--Ishtar456 (talk) 10:49, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I seem to have been reviewing this at the same time as Ishtar456. At first I thought this article did not qualify for DYK because it is too short at 230 words "readable prose size" but I see it has 1505 bytes so perhaps it just scrapes through. However, it appears to have 2 sources but in fact they are identical. I'm not sure where the sea urchins Zenocentrotus kellersi and Z. paradoxus in the alternative hook come from because they are not in the article. I Googled them and there is so little information available online that I think I will decline the invitation to write articles on them. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:54, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem, Cwmhiraeth. Let's keep this a single DYK. --PFHLai (talk) 20:28, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg struck out my prior acceptance as there is only one source. Unless a couple more sources are added I do not see this as acceptable.--Ishtar456 (talk) 11:39, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Please let me do what I proposed in the comments above and you'll have more refs. But first, I have to fix the old willow nom way up there on T:TDYK above. Hang in there.... --PFHLai (talk) 20:28, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi everyone. I fixed the link that PFHLai had asked about. The message got a bit clogged up in my talk page while I was traveling and editing very little. I only intended on writing a start for the article, as sources about Keller are lacking online and I wrote it when in an airport with terrible wifi (so no surprise about the source error). I fixed it! Thanks for the nomination consideration, it's nice that one article you think very few will notice has the chance to be groomed and seen by many others.
