Spotted imperial pigeon

 * ... that the vulnerable spotted imperial pigeon is endemic to the Philippines, but may be locally extinct on Sibuyan, Mindoro and Siquijor? Source: "... and it may have been extirpated on Sibuyan and Mindoro. The race nigrorum of the Visayas is likely to be extinct: although common as recently as the 1950s on Negros, it was not found during recent surveys there (Evans et al. 1993), and it is very likely to be extinct on Siquijor (D. Allen in litt. 2012)." IUCN Red List
 * ALT1:... that the spotted imperial pigeon specific name carola is derived from the name of a daughter of the ornithologist Charles Lucien Bonaparte?

5x expanded by Gulumeemee (talk). Self-nominated at 03:35, 14 March 2017 (UTC).


 * Symbol possible vote.svg Right, to begin, this is my first review. The article was created on 24 July 2007 but was not nominated within 7 days range. It was expanded over two days and was nominated on 14 March 2017. Considering 7 days limit, the article had 1291 characters (123 words) on 12 March 2017. As of today, the article has 5967 characters (654 words). The characters have not expanded by fivefold within the date range, although the word count has. Perhaps consider further expansion as there was only 488 characters between the article and fivefold its original size before 21 March.
 * Thank you for the review. The fivefold expansion is actually a fivefold expansion of the prose, not including infoboxes, references, external links and categories. The 1291 characters includes characters that are not counted as prose. I used User:Shubinator/DYKcheck.js to count the prose characters. There were 279 characters in this version before the expansion and 2758 characters in this version after the expansion, so the prose was expanded by more than fivefold.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Sorry for the delay, I thought I had responded. Nevertheless, thank you for that. The article is new (expanded), long enough (2758 characters), is neutral and within policy. The hook is 135 characters, interesting to a broad audience, sourced and is neutral. You have not used an image and have reviewed another hook. Therefore, the hook is ready and acceptable for DYK, well done . Soaper1234 (talk) 10:29, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
