- ... that trees of the extinct genus Calamophyton (example pictured) formed the earliest known forest?
Created by Gatoclass (talk).
Number of QPQs required: 2. DYK is currently in unreviewed backlog mode and nominator has 20 past nominations.
Post-promotion hook changes will be logged on the talk page; consider watching the nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.Gatoclass (talk) 01:43, 23 March 2024 (UTC).
- @Gatoclass: Over a week later, you still need to do your two QPQs before this can be reviewed. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:02, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you David, but the rule is that QPQs must be done within a week of nomination, not creation, and I only nominated this three days ago. I have been extremely busy over the last few days and am currently in recovery, so will probably take another day or two before adding the QPQs. But please feel free to review the other aspects of the nomination in the meantime if you are so inclined. Gatoclass (talk) 06:17, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- My personal rule is not to review any DYK that is still missing its QPQ, and not to nominate until I have done my own QPQs. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:20, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- David, just for the record, I reviewed more than 40 nominations last month, none of which were QPQs, and could legitimately use any of them for this nomination, but my personal rule is always to offer newly completed QPQs for any nomination I make, not only to help out the project, but also so that the reviewer can be sure I am not using old QPQs that I may have used before. Which is why I almost always nominate before doing the QPQs. Cheers, Gatoclass (talk) 06:45, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- David, I have added the QPQs if you still want to complete this review. Gatoclass (talk) 12:20, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe if it's still around the next time I need QPQs myself (like you, I do them when I need them rather than maintaining a backlog). —David Eppstein (talk) 18:09, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

QPQs added, ready for full review. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:09, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- Starting review--Kevmin § 16:45, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
Article new enough and long enough. Article well developed and cited, I have added a citation and a clarification tag in the Discovery section. We need a citation for the sentance on suggested synonymy of species and clarification in the next sentence re:Specimens/species date to the Devonian.--Kevmin § 16:07, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Kevmin, I have added a couple of new refs to address your concerns. Gatoclass (talk) 10:57, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
Apologies for the late reply. The additions do help and are good for the nomination (Though Leclercq (1969) is suspiciously dated now, at 50y old). Article is good to go, and looks like a good starting point for the GAN eventually.--Kevmin § 14:10, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
