( Back to T:TDYK )

( Article history links:

• Vaccinium myrsinites
• Vaccinium pallidum

• ... that while the Blue Ridge blueberry (pictured) can be used for pies and jelly, the shiny blueberry was used by the Seminole to treat "hog sickness"?

• Both articles just scrape in for time so new enough, they are also big enough and look neutral. for Vaccinium myrsinites hook fact is included, cited and citation confirmed. For Vaccinium pallidum hook fact is included, cited and citation confirmed. Since nominated by someone else than creator, QPQ requirement of 2 articles reviewed is not applicable. Still needs check for plagiarism. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:24, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

• Now that commons delinker has removed the image this cannot be an issue any more! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:54, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
• Both articles are plagiarism free, so almost ready to go apart from image issue, so time to propose another similar hook:

alt1 ... that while the Blue Ridge blueberry can be used for pies and jelly, the shiny blueberry (pictured) was used by the Seminole to treat "hog sickness"?

• Thx! Go with alt1 :) Rcej (Robert) – talk 10:33, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
