Frej Ossiannilsson

  • ... that the Swedish entomologist Frej Ossiannilsson discovered vibrational communication of leafhoppers and is thus considered a pioneer of biotremology? Source: "By pressing the opening of a tube containing a leafhopper to his ear, he discovered their sound production" (Sundblad & Petterson 2003) -- note that the source mentions sound, not vibration, but this distinction is more accurately presented by other cited sources. Also, "... 9 years after the groundbreaking study by Frej Ossiannilsson ..." (Wessel 2014).

Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/LeCompte maneuver
  • Article has been created on the indicated day, is long enough, neutral, and properly referenced. The main source is not available online but I did check that it is not a translation from the existing Swedish nor German Wikipedia entries. The one source that is fully available has not been plagiarised. The hook is interesting and referenced to a reliable source (the one that is online). Due to its careful wording (a pioneer, as opposed to the pioneer) the hook correctly paraphrases the article that it references. I found only one DYK credit on Yerpo's talkpage; he is thus not required to review another submission. Symbol confirmed.svg This submission is good to go. --Pgallert (talk) 09:44, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
Thank you, Template:U. To be completely open, I have had 8-9 DYK nominations approved over the years (you probably overlooked my talk page archive), but I didn't have time to review another submission yet and I, frankly, forgot about it. If it's an absolute requirement, I can try to do something. — Yerpo Eh? 10:36, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
Template:Ping Oops, indeed. Thanks for mentioning it. I saw the sequence "AfC declined - Invitation to teahouse - DYK credits" and didn't think you could have had DYKs before that... --Pgallert (talk) 07:27, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
Symbol question.svg Awaiting DYK QPQ review. The reviewing has changed quite a bit in recent years, if you need help don't hesitate to ask me. --Pgallert (talk) 07:27, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
Heads up Template:Ping Just to make sure this is moving somewhere... --Pgallert (talk) 18:16, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
Template:Ping I'll do a review in a day or two, thanks for the patience. — Yerpo Eh? 09:26, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
Template:Ping  Done, see above — Yerpo Eh? 12:30, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go, then. Cheers, Pgallert (talk) 12:47, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but the hook is super heavy on multisyllabic words and unfamiliar terms. A better hook could focus in plain language on how he heard insect sounds for the first time. Yoninah (talk) 23:05, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping ALT1 looks like a good hook, if you end it at "vibrations". You don't have to sell me on his fame; you just have to hook me into reading the article. Yoninah (talk) 17:19, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping I did wish to mention biotremology explicitly, but if it comes across as too verbose, I'd be satisfied with your version as well. Feel free to promote it that way. Thanks, — Yerpo Eh? 07:06, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping I prefer ALT1 (with your modification or without). — Yerpo Eh? 17:23, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
  • Symbol voting keep.svg OK, let's go with ALT1. Offline hook ref AGF and cited inline. Rest of review per Pgallert. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 21:40, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
