• ... that Catodontherium had a prior genus name that was mistakenly thought to have been used before and therefore was replaced? Source: Classification of Mammals: Above the Species Level, pg. 406 ("'Proposed on the grounds that Catodus is preoccupied by Catodon Linnaeus, 1761. This is not preoccupation, but Catodus was a numen nudum in its earlier publication (1905) so that Catodontherium may be retained' (Simpson, 1945:147)"

• Starting Review--Kevmin § 15:33, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Article new enough and long enough, though a bit dense for a lay reader at times. no copyvio issues identified and hook source verified. I think we should maybe look at wordmithing of the hook itself so it flows a little better and is a little more concise.--Kevmin § 17:59, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sure, how do you suggest I reword the hook? PrimalMustelid (talk) 20:26, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Apologies for the delays in responding. We could go with something along the lines of:
    • Alt1... that due to a misunderstanding, Catodontherium was moved from its original genus name?
    • --Kevmin § 20:42, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yeah, that sounds good. PrimalMustelid (talk) 04:29, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, we will need another set of eyes to give a verification that the new hook I proposed is acceptable then, The article overall is ready for passing, as it has no copyvio issues. is new enough and long enough, and does not have any notable rules issues.--Kevmin § 18:35, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article says "the genus may have been renamed because of apparent preoccupation of a prior genus name Catodon". If the article equivocates, so should the hook.--Launchballer 18:30, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Launchballer Alt1 does that with the verbiage "due to a misunderstanding"--Kevmin § 19:17, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but the article says 'may', while the hook does not.--Launchballer 20:35, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Launchballer @Kevmin I don't wish for this hook to be in stagnation, so I slightly reworded the sentence to comply with the hook. PrimalMustelid (talk) 18:26, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the rewording as it helps match the source material.--Kevmin § 00:19, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good enough for me. Let's roll.--Launchballer 14:20, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
