Include in Magnapinna

[edit]

@PhronimaStan: I believe this page should just be part of the Magnapinna page as this is basically a list that doesn't really offer much else than to compile all sightings of the genus. Anthropophoca (talk) 06:18, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

is there a straightforward way to extract the contents of this list and add it to the existing Magnapinna page? I pretty much copied the format of the separate list pages for architeuthis and mesonychoteuthis sightings, but i'm happy to just add it to Magnapinna if that makes more sense PhronimaStan (talk) 06:20, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I imagine that you either have to integrate it into the prose, or just copy paste the table verbatim, and alter the relevant section so that it summarizes the history of our encounters with the genus. Sort of like an article lede Anthropophoca (talk) 09:17, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: The article was moved to mainspace on 13 May 2025, and was nominated for DYK the next day. Length is adequate and the hooks are both interesting and properly backed by sources. No image is used and a QPQ is not required for this nomination. The main issue is sourcing beyond the mentioned hooks; A whole section has no sources (Background), but it could use some of the main article it links to. In the list itself, there are several sightings with no backing sources, a case of a failed verification and broken youtube link, and a few uses of twitter/X being used as a reference, which should be replaced for better alternatives if possible. I added several templates and tags to clearly point these issues. Once everything is fixed and double-checked, I will request a second opinion from another editor.

Thank you for your review! I added some references to the background section, and am currently working on cleaning up the list portion of the article. I apologize, as I admit that I should've gone further with verifying the references before reviewing this page and nominating it for DYK. Thank you again for volunteering at DYK, I will attempt to address the issues with the article at this time. -Samoht27 (talk) 20:05, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Samoht27: Don't worry! These are just minor issues. When you finish, ping me so I can take a look NeoGaze (talk) 20:46, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Samoht27: Hello, are you still working on the article? NeoGaze (talk) 08:24, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Samoht27: I will close this in 24 hours if the above is not addressed.--Launchballer 13:17, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
