• ... that Muhlenbergia pungens (pictured), a tussock grass that grows in the western United States, was used by the Hopi people to make brushes?

• Length-wise this is too borderline for me to feel comfortable running through as-is. Its 1545 characters long but has a lot of references, which means the actual substantial text is probably a bit short of the 1500 characters. Of course, it only needs a sentence or two more, so the nominator shouldn't have any trouble getting it up to par. Abyssal (talk) 17:47, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

I just spotted this. For some reason the nom is a bit unexpected. Anyway, I have added some content that pushed it up to 1841 characters (324 words) "readable prose size". Aymatth2 (talk) 19:41, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

• Article is new enough and also long enough. Hook fact accepted in good faith. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:48, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

• Pulled from main page owing to current copyvio tag. I disagree with it, but one needs to be safe. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:52, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

• I am blind to the copyvio concern, but also wonder if it makes sense to relist. It is amusing that a tussock of sandy and inedible grass got onto the main page, even if only briefly. It is the nominator's choice, but I would drop it now. Aymatth2 (talk) 01:17, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

• Well considering that the current version is now only about a third of the size required for DYK and the creator has said that he wants to drop it, so I think it would make sense to delist this now. Miyagawa (talk) 12:46, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
