@Cwmhiraeth:, New enough, no copyvio issues, long enough, QPQ done, sourced and cited, hook interesting and followed by a reference. Quick question...source says "on the tree"...hook says "on the leaves"...Is that ok? Whispyhistory (talk) 09:39, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Whispyhistory: A belated response! The source states "the tree" and I made the assumption that that meant the leaves because that is what caterpillars in general feed on. If they were feeding on the roots, trunk, branches, twigs, flowers or fruits, I think the source would have said so. Would you prefer foliage? Or we can omit leaves and just say the tree if you like, but then we might be getting into close-paraphrasing territory. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:48, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
- No worry...@Cwmhiraeth:...I knew you would reply at some point. Source says "edible caterpillars are grown on the tree". You could take out "on the leaves" from the hook and leave it as "in Cameroon, edible caterpillars are cultivated on the dwarf red ironwood tree. Whispyhistory (talk) 09:12, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
- OK, I have struck the original hook and substituted ALT1. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:16, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
