Ratón[edit]

(edit nomination page)

  • ... that a terrible Mouse weighing 500 kg (1,100 lb) has killed three people in Spain in the last five years?
In case the above is thought to be too flippant here's a more sober alternative:
  • ALT1: ... that a Spanish bull called Mouse has killed three people in the last five years but earns up to €15,000 a time for public appearances?
  • Reviewed: Xylomelum pyriforme [1]
  • Comment: This is a bit of an unusual one - the article was created by one editor (Anna Frodesiak) and 5x expanded by another (me, Prioryman) on the same day. I suggest an equal credit for both editors if this nomination is accepted.

    • Created by Anna Frodesiak (talk), expanded 5x by Prioryman (talk). Nominated by Prioryman (talk) at 07:15, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

    • Hook: Love the original. AGF on Spanish source.
    Article: Length and date check out. AGF on the Spanish sources for reliability and paraphrasing. Poster has a FUR.
    ALT2: ... that a Mouse earns up to €15,000 a time for public appearances?
    ALT3: ... that "The Bull Assassin" has killed three people in Spain in the last five years?
    Summary: ALT3 is based on a translation of one of the headlines. Just waiting for some feedback on the ALT. Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:09, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
    The latter is a bit of a mistranslation, I fear; "el toro asesino" means literally "the bull murderer" but "the killer bull" is a more colloquial English meaning (and is how the phrase is translated in the article). I think if it's OK with you I'd prefer to go with my original hook. Prioryman (talk) 06:41, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
    Original hook is good to go. Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:35, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
    Love the slight modification to the original (and the nickname is cited too) Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:01, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
