Rhynchocyon
- ... that a new subspecies of giant sengi was recently discovered? Source: "Despite the pelage differences, initial DNA comparisons found it nearly identical to R. chrysopygus. A later DNA comparison supported a designation of a new subspecies, Rhynchocyon chrysopygus mandelai as it diverges in pelage and is allopatric to R. chrysopygus (Agwanda et al. 2021)."

Post-promotion hook changes will be logged on the talk page; consider watching the nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.Andrew Z. Colvin • Talk 02:53, 20 April 2024 (UTC).
- QPQ: Kiso 5639 and moved to prep. Andrew Z. Colvin • Talk 03:27, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
Date, size, expansion, hook, refs, QPQ, copyvio spotcheck, all GTG. Minor disclaimer: the prose script I use does not count tables and bulleted lists, and without them I see only ~2.5-3x expansion. But there is a new large table (with some advanced features) and a new list, so I am AGFing the 5x claim. PS. I added a single citation needed request to one sentence - I ask the nom to comment here on whether it has been addressed. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:15, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reference added! And yes, it was not massively expanded, however I am working on more sections in the conservation section today. Thank you for the comments. Andrew Z. Colvin • Talk 22:55, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- Not happy with 'recently'; hooks must not be likely to change.--Launchballer 17:41, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Azcolvin429: Another issue with recently is that it's relative to the field but if that's unclear, it could give folks a misleading impression. 2008/7 is recent for the discovery of species, but not recent in other ways. Back in 2007, you could pull your Blackberry out of your ombré jeans and text your friends to meet you at Blockbuster Video so you all could rent a DVD to play on your PS2. Some people could read the hook as meaning that it was discovered earlier this year. I thought some of the reproduction information cited to Rathbun was interesting, including that they're monogamous but spend little time together and the quick development of the offspring, "mall versions of adults and are able to run swiftly within an hour of birth". Good luck, whichever way you go, Rjjiii (talk) 06:24, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
