Wildlife of South Korea

• ... that the wildlife of South Korea includes numerous endangered animals and plants?

Created by Gong Ju-young (talk), Ji-soo Seo (talk), and Gu-hyun Jung (talk). Nominated by Gu-hyun Jung (talk) at 03:52, 13 June 2016 (UTC).

• Article is big enough, created by moving on the same day as the nomination, most parts are referenced. But the harmful animals part looks poorly referenced. The supplied reference may be just a definition but not a list of the animals and what they do. Correct three users credited. Page is linked from hook. QPQ not required. Image is used in article, is freely licensed, and does appear genuinely connected to the topic. The hook is short enough and in the article, but it is a bit dull. A more exciting hook is needed perhaps ALT1 (but even better if we can get a picture of a Korena boar in a city). Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:04, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

ALT1 that the wildlife of South Korea includes wild Boar which come into South Korean cities to look for food, and can potentially kill people?

• @Graeme Bartlett: I had some concerns about this section, too, but I am not sure how to improve it. I asked the students to provide a link and Korean (hangul) name for each reference, but seems like they missed that one, and the course is over, so they are unlikely to fix it. I do not think we can use ALT1 (which does sound more interesting) without verifying the ref. I'll ping User:-revi to see if he can help, but unless he can confirm the reference contains said material, we may be better of removing this section (moving it to talk, perhaps) or at the very least avoiding using this info for the hook. PS. A ref for wild boars being hamrful in Korea is not difficult to find ([1]), on the bright side - 5 seconds with Google and here it is. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:14, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Seems there's a recent news of wild boar coming to city, even news from 10 mins ago that there's a searching party.^{links all Korean} I can find more, but I just came back from Wikimania and have some stuff to do before I can take time for this. — regards, Revi 07:23, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

It has improved. Can you reference the other statements about harmful wild animals? with your latest changes we can use the boar hook. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:11, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Sure, looking for sources. I feel good with ALT1 too, btw. — regards, Revi 08:41, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

OK, I can't say I did my best (as I didn't write the article) but I did as much as I can. Second bullet point is left uncited as it was kinda too broad; and first bullet's citation doesn't include all the animals in it. Just few of them. Anyway, I think it's good to be reviewed now? — regards, Revi 17:19, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

I am now happy with references. So that just leaves it for someone else to approve the ALT1 hook, which I think is OK, but since I put it there I can't approve it. The original hook is just a bit boring, and the image is not referenced in the hook anyway. ALT1 would run with no image, unless you can get a suburban boar image in.

Approving Alt1. Everything checks out. White Arabian Filly ^Neigh 20:52, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
