    • Comment: This is my first time using DYK-helper, lets hope it works. Only 1 other DYK so QPQ is not applicable.

Improved to Good Article status by Etriusus (talk). Self-nominated at 04:03, 27 January 2022 (UTC).

  • Hi Etriusus, review follows: article promoted to GA on 27 January; is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; only checked a small sample of the sources but found no issue with overly close paraphrasing; ALT0 checks out to source cited here plus Wang et al (2018); for ALT1 I couldn't see specifically in the article where it says the lanternfly is invasive in these areas, could you give me a pointer? ALT2 is mentioned in the article and, to the extent of my limited biology knowledge, appears to be supported by the journal cited; no QPQ is required as user has only one DYK credit - Dumelow (talk) 10:11, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
Dumelow, here is the line from the paper: "Lycorma delicatula is reported to be invasive in South Korea, Japan and the USA" Page 8. If you'd prefer a different source, there is no shortage. Etriusus (talk) 11:24, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi Etriusus, sorry I should have been more specific. I can see the line in the paper I just can't spot where the Wikipedia article states that it is invasive in these countries. Thanks - Dumelow (talk) 11:26, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
No problem Dumelow, here's the sentence from the lead: "It has spread invasively to Japan, South Korea, and the United States." It is also mentioned by country in the "Distribution" section: In the US, In South Korea, and In Japan subsections, respectively. Etriusus (talk) 11:32, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi Etriusus, I guess I was looking for a specific statement that "lanternfly is considered invasive in xyz". I suppose it can be inferred from the statement in the native range section that it "is originally native to parts of China, with some evidence of it being native to parts of India, Vietnam, and Taiwan" and then later discussions of its presence in these countries - Dumelow (talk) 11:42, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
