@Robert McClenon: I am the primary author of this draft, and it was submitted to AfC without anyone asking me. Now, draftspace drafts don't belong to anyone, but I had more that I planned to write, and if I'd been asked I would have said no, don't submit this, I'll just go ahead and finish it and then mainspace it myself. (I had only stopped because I'd offered someone else the chance to write a portion of it, and they never got around to it.) So, just to save you the time of reviewing something I intend to publish either way, I thought I'd let you know, if you'd like to put it on hold or procedurally decline or whatever is bureaucratically the best way to handle that. All the best. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe) 00:17, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
:)
I'll try to finish it up tomorrow, and then I'll just mainspace it myself, since it was never intended as an AfC draft. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe) 03:37, 10 March 2024 (UTC)The result was: promoted by AirshipJungleman29 talk 13:01, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: @Tamzin: Other than the already noted CC-BY content above, most of the Earwig responses are false positives. Hook is interesting and sourced. Good for length and newness. Tamzin is below the emergency QPQ threshhold and 1 QPQ has been provided. I'd be interested in seeing some variants of the hook. Currently it feels, verbose. Happy to proceed. No preference on hook. Image below looks fine as well. All good to go. Seddon talk 00:19, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
I can only see the summary online (animals can be bred that will react with discoloration of the skin when exposed
) - do Bastide and Fabbri use any language in their 1981 paper that suggest a "glowing" aspect to this, or is that something that's crept in from others writing about the concept since? (I'm not sure how well this bodes for being able to transmit this specific idea intact for 10,000 years...) Belbury (talk) 22:15, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
Greetings, editors! I was glad to come across this article by chance from DYK, having expanded Paolo Fabbri (semiotician) a few weeks ago. I'm not a semiotician and my only interest in Fabbri comes from his connections to Rimini, so I did not know the first thing about ray cats! That biography is very much focussed on his academic career from the various obituaries I found (and, consequently and unfortunately, it reads somewhat like a CV).
For the moment, I've added wikilinks to Ray cat in Fabbri's infobox and See also, but if editors who have worked on this article would be happy to incorporate, as they see fit, Fabbri's connection with ray cats to the main article body at Paolo Fabbri (semiotician), I am sure they could do a far better job than me, knowing much more about this topic.
