DYK
[edit]Okay, the "fact" appeared. But given that it was untrue (i.e., not a fact), I don't think it's something worth advertising. KarlM (talk) 14:37, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
- What's the point in making that statement and providing no details? --Boston (talk) 04:33, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- Because I didn't think it was worth expounding on such a trivial thing, but if it matters: the DYK appeared saying "...Thyrocopa is a genus of flightless moth endemic to Hawaii". Since Thyrocopa consists of over 40 species, only two of which are flightless, the description is incorrect. When I edited the article I also removed the DYK notice from here, which someone put back a couple of days ago. Hence my comment. KarlM (talk) 17:47, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
