- ... that the oldest living aquarium fish likes belly rubs?
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Charles J. M. Gwinn
- Comment: Pretty much every article talking about her mentions the belly rubs. She definitely has a personality, and an aquarium fish wanting belly rubs is definitely not something people would expect at first (although, lungfish are weird like this, eh?)

- Interesting individual! Fine sources, no copyvio obvious. I think the hook is cute. Having said that, her name is also cute so you might want to display it. Minor suggestions: Everything in the lead should be sourced in the body, and "lungfish" comes rather late. I'd drop the See also completely, but in case you want to keep it: everything but the link has to go for formality reason. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:54, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! Fine by me if we add her name, what about ALT1: ... that Methuselah, the oldest living aquarium fish, likes belly rubs?
- I'm okay with dropping the "See also", although ironically that's the only part I haven't written, so maybe we can ask Di (they-them).
- Regarding the lead, the fact that it's an Australian lungfish is sourced, although I'm not sure how to cleanly add it earlier in the body without moving the whole "Description" section (which I haven't finished writing, there's a lot more about her). I would be open to any advice, thanks a lot! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 16:42, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- Aye, I'm fine with removing the see also section. Di (they-them) (talk) 16:49, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
