... that despite collecting plant specimens not to identify new species, Harold Harrington was the first to collect a species that would be named for him?

That's really stilted. How about: ALT1:... that even though Harold Harrington hadn't intended to collect new plant species, he was the first to collect a species that was later named for him? DS (talk) 01:26, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1 violates WP:N'T. I plan on reviewing both of these in the next 18 hours.--Laun chba ller 20:21, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Long enough, new enough. The facts check out for both hooks; it just needs tweaking. Both QPQs check out and Earwig is clean for both articles. {{Botanist}} probably shouldn't be where it is on Harold Harrington and I think it should be moved.--Laun chba ller 04:23, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Launchballer: thanks for the review! I didn't add the botanist template and I've removed it as it strikes me as a peculiarly formatted one. When you say the hook should be tweaked, are you talking about phrasing? ~ Pbritti (talk) 05:00, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Got it in one. (If I suggest something, I'll want to add something, which would require another reviewer.)--Laun chba ller 05:04, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
