Starting Review--Kevmin § 13:54, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
- Article long enough and new enough, though a bit sparse on some details (there is preferred habitat detail in Radulović et al), and the chemoanalysis should likely be more than just one short sentence. I worry that hte hook is too close to "boring" for the too boring editors to allow, as it boils down to "flower attracts bees with smell". Are there other possible hooks you can provide, such as the preference for north facing mountain slopes, the preferance for calcicole chasmophyte conditions, the essentail oil being mostly Fatty acids and Carotenoids, etc --Kevmin § 14:24, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
  - @Kevmin: I think I can rewrite it to be a little more compelling. Something has come up today in the real world that's commanding my attention, but please anticipate my QPQ and a revised hook tomorrow UTC. ~ Pbritti (talk) 17:10, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

Kevmin and Pbritti, the same fact might be hookier if we just reword it a bit: ALT1: ... that a Serbian columbine species might be luring some animals with mixtures of molecular compounds? Surtsicna (talk) 07:35, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

@Surtsicna: That's a clever ALT—I like it! QPQ coming momentarily. ~ Pbritti (talk) 12:25, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

I think we may be able to get alt1 through, I like it. The article is new enough and long enough, well cited to reliable sources. The wording is neutral and there do not appear to be any policy issues. There are no identified close paraphrasing or copyvio issues. Just waiting on QPQ now.--Kev min § 16:23, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

Alt1 hook is good to go, article is compliant with DYK rules as already noted. QPQ now in progress in good faith.--Kev min § 16:29, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
