- Looks good! Is there any free image? BBC Nature citation is alright! --Tito Dutta (talk) 06:47, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
- I'm trying to secure a free image from Nekaris and her team, but things are messy right now because the information was leaked to the press and now the formal publication is being delayed. It may take a while to sort this mess out, get a picture, and include better citations. – Maky « talk » 11:54, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
- If possible, add one source in the last paragraph of Taxonomy section and last pargraph of description section and the DYK hook should be okay. Image is not compulsory. Please post a {{TB}} at my talk page! --Tito Dutta (talk) 12:28, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the nom, Chris857. I definitely agree with Maky, and I'd like to hold few a few days, if we can... I had planned to add a bit more, like a discussion of conservation status, newer info & sources Re: toxic bite, and a "hookier" hook. Oh, one more thing – like Maky, I'd really love to read (and cite) the primary source's paper! ☺ Grollτech (talk) 21:02, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
- My reply belongs on the article's talk page, so I'm taking it there. – Maky « talk » 23:32, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
- Is this ready for a formal review now? It does need an inline citation in the second Description paragraph, which it makes sense to fix, and there was talk about about a "hookier" hook, but it's been sitting for two weeks since the above, and I see there was a major addition about a week ago. Let me know, and if so I'll add it to the "needs reviewing" list on WT:DYK. Thanks! BlueMoonset (talk) 18:44, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, I've been busy, though my weekend starts tomorrow. I will try to have the article fixed up sometime tomorrow. – Maky « talk » 22:38, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
- Make that tomorrow. Sorry, got busy. Will dedicate all day tomorrow to this articles as well as the ones for the two other new slow loris species. – Maky « talk » 04:38, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
- The article has been revamped (citations and more details added). As for the hook, a better one could be made if it includes two other new (and newly expanded) articles about the other species elevated to species status in the same paper, Nycticebus bancanus and Nycticebus borneanus. I'm too tired tonight to figure out how best to nominate the other two, but here is an alternate hook that would include all three new species: – Maky « talk » 03:47, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

- Alt 1: ... that in 2013 the Bornean slow loris (Nycticebus menagensis) was split into three additional species: N. kayan, N. bancanus, and N. borneanus?
- Here is the DYK nom for the other two species articles that tie in to ALT1: Template:Did you know nominations/Nycticebus bancanus Sorry that they weren't submitted at the same time, but other people beat me to the DYK nom for the new species. ;-) (All the help was appreciated.) – Maky « talk » 02:12, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
Needs a full review. Note that this is a triple hook now, and the other two articles need to be reviewed for this hook to be promoted. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:37, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
All three articles are new enough and long enough and one is already a GA. The hook is well-sourced. Going with ALT1. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:29, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
