Coelioxys sodalis

[edit]

Coelioxys sodalis

Created/expanded by Gaff (talk). Self nominated at 23:39, 14 October 2014 (UTC).

@Gaff: personally, I would use one of the other images in the commons category, both in the article and in the DYK. They give the viewer a better idea of the species than a close-up of the face does. G S Palmer (talkcontribs) 17:47, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
  • This article is new enough and long enough. The hook fact is appropriately sourced, the image is appropriately licensed, the article is neutral and I detected no policy issues with the sources I inspected. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:43, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Replaced the image per G S Palmer's suggestion. Now I'm confused. There is a stub created a day later by Gaff titled Coelioxys. It contains the same information as this article. Yoninah (talk) 20:47, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
Coelioxys is the genus, which includes several sub-genuses and many, many species (listed here). That is why it is a stub. This article and the DYK is about one of those species: Coelioxys sodalis Gaff ταλκ 20:54, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
Regarding the images: the prior image with the full face shot is more compelling and will probably draw more hits/clicks from a general audience, rather than the replacement, with the wing awkwardly covering the face. Gaff ταλκ 20:57, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Coelioxys sodalis

  • Fair enough. Restoring tick. Also reprinting the face image if the prep builder wishes to use it. Yoninah (talk) 21:49, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
I'm +/- on the image and defer to community consensus. Thank you for the review(s) Gaff ταλκ 22:22, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
