 * Symbol confirmed.svg Hook fact and reference good. Article length, newness and references good.  No policy issues found.  Image status good to go. -- Kev  min  § 17:00, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * "DYK Check" claims this article has not had fivefold expansion - it states "Assuming article is at 5x now, expansion began 38 edits ago on October 13, 2007" - any ideas why? It seems to me, as per Kev above, that it has indeed been expanded in the last 2 days. Also, is it Sargassumfish or Sargassum fish? The article *name* is Sargassumfish yet this is not mentioned on the page at all. Guess it should be moved before hitting the front page!  Nik the  stoned  17:18, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * No idea about the DYK check issue, I use this java script counter for my checks and it showed a clear 5x expansion. In regards to "sargassum fish"  it is common when there are multiple vernacular names to wrrite the article using the unambiguous genus or binomial name.  This is the situation with Histrio which has at least three vernacular names sargassum fish, angler fish and frog fish (four if you count sargassumfish seperate from sargassum fish).-- Kev  min  § 17:50, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks Kev - I'll take your word on the naming, not that I follow the reasoning!  Nik the  stoned  18:12, 5 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Looking at the article history, the DYK Check is picking up this revision, which is 727 characters (aka more than 20% of what we have now). However, information was removed for copyright concerns, bringing it down to 221. As we count the expansion from the first clean version (the version with no copyvios, even if the rest is a mess), per Supplementary guidelines A4, this is a 5x expansion. Tick based on previous review. Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:08, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Cheers for that Crisco, makes sense!  Nik the  stoned  15:22, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * When I first edited the article on 4th January, the page size was "246 B (38 words) "readable prose size"". Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:02, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Which is still a 5x expansion. It's fine, not sure why it's stagnating at T:TDYK. Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:03, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
