 * Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go. Short, but long enough.  New enough.  Fully referenced.  Hook interesting and referenced.  Checked the online sources for copyvios via Duplication Detector and found no problems.  QPQ done. Rlendog (talk) 01:07, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
 * ALT1 ... that the Stumptown scud, a crustacean species endemic only to Portland, looks like a "cross between a prawn and a potato bug?"
 * *ALT2 ... that the female Stumptown scud, a crustacean species, have a marsupial-like pouch, in which they carry their eggs? 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 14:09, 6 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment I am fine with ALT1. I'd prefer not to run ALT2, as it turns out that the "marsupial pouch" is common to all scuds.  ALT1 is nice because it includes a fact I considered writing as an alt hook anyway.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 00:35, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
 * ALT1 is fine too. The additional information is referenced in the source. Rlendog (talk) 03:00, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
