COMMENT: a suggestion that ",native to South Africa," be inserted into the hook before "is becoming rarer" David notMD (talk) 10:51, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article is new enough and long enough and I have added ALT1 as suggested. The image is suitably licensed, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:22, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I came by to promote this, but there seems to be a bit of close paraphrasing from the IUCN source:
Source: it is suspected to be undergoing rapid population declines owing to the loss and fragmentation of its habitat to agricultural conversion. ... Conversion of natural vegetation to agriculture is likely to be the primary threat.
Article: It has undergone rapid population decline as a result of the loss and fragmentation of its habitat due to the conversion of natural vegetation into agricultural land
BTW the source says it is projected to be affected, but the article states this as a fact. Yoninah (talk) 22:39, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you click on the "threats" tab and then expand the "threats in detail" it goes into more explanation. Likewise with "population" and "population in detail" - it has been ongoing decline since 1992. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 02:32, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Casliber: yes, I saw that. What about the close paraphrasing? Yoninah (talk) 21:22, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, must have scanned over that, okay I did this Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:28, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. Yoninah (talk) 21:38, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
