Herennia multipuncta

 * ... that the male ornamental tree trunk spider (male and female pictured) usually becomes mutilated while mating, especially when the female is aggressive?
 * Reviewed: Biloxi Wade-Ins

Created by Cwmhiraeth (talk). Self nominated at 14:18, 23 January 2014 (UTC).


 * Symbol question.svg Nominated one day after creation, and is about 2500 characters, satisfying date and length criteria. The first reference contains a PDF link that is redirected to the main page of that site (and is a blog), which should be removed or updated; the associated 'doi' link is OK. Google Books refuses to allow me to read the linked passages in the two refs linked to that site, so I will assume good faith for refs 2 and 3. Abstract of ref 4 does not contain claim, so I will assume good faith that it is in the main body of the paper. Text states "eighty percent of matings", but abstract of ref 5 states 75-80. Image is in the article and OK at this size; the source article from which it is obtained is CC, but it isn't clear whether this applies to the contained image. Please clarify this, otherwise the image cannot be used. Hook is short enough, interesting, and has a citation in the text. This nomination will pass once the two minor issues noted are resolved.

 * I have put the 75-80% range in the article. The image is good to use, see here where it is suggested as one of a number of images needing articles from the project "Open Access File of the Day". Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:04, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg OK. There's still the issue of the PDF link to resolve. (The PDF redirects to the main page of that site, which is spammy and unacceptable.) Mind  matrix  14:40, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I have removed the faulty pdf link. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 16:25, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Thanks. Everything else is OK, so this is good to go. Mind  matrix  17:03, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
