 * Done
 * Symbol question.svg Date and length fine, sophisticated article! I have to accept the Japanese sources in good faith and am willing to do so. But the hook: I bolded the article name. I don't know what webbed fingers are, is a link possible? Others may not know what humanoid is and pantheon (Pantheon?). Perhaps try a completely different hook with more general wording? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:46, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi, Gerda. I honestly find your doubts surprising, because "webbed" and "humanoid" are common words. Children learn in school that frogs have webbed fingers, and humanoid is pretty much self-explanatory. But see if you can accept the new hook.
 * Symbol confirmed.svg yes, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:16, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
