Overall: Earwig lists a 40.8% match but the matching site is very clearly copying from the Wikipedia article, as it starts by saying "according to Wikipedia". There's a heavy emphasis on quotes in the Aristotle section but the translation is from 1910 and as far as I can tell that text would now be public domain in the UK where it was published (not that it's part of the DYK review but a link to D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson in the refs that he translated might be good?). @Onegreatjoke: There is an issue with the hook, given that it's just the lede sentence and there's no clear citation attached to it. "Source: In the article." isn't clear enough, such sources should be in the article but you need to point out specifically which source verifies this. Per WP:DYKCRIT's "Cited hook" point b, there's no reference at the end of that statement, which is necessary if it's going to be used as a DYK hook. Can you either suggest a new hook or provide a reference for that statement in the article? - Aoidh (talk) 20:40, 10 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
