Also, I'd be grateful if someone could double-check the expansion of the article Macrolepiota albuminosa. Thanks.

: Thank you for the review, I have added the citation. There's a script that shows page size but I'm not too sure how you get it. The original size of Macrolepiota albuminosa was 466 characters and now it's 2590. I'm not too bothered about which article gets the most hits. I'm not sure that the termite is always associated with this fungus of if it may use some other species of fungus, which makes putting the termite first in the hook awkward.

::{{u|Cwmhiraeth}} Thanks very much. Both of those comments make sense and thanks for the tip. Just to triple check? This is the reference for the hook? Batra, S.W.T. (1975). "Termites (Isoptera) Eat and Manipulate Symbiotic Fungi". Journal of the Kansas Entomological Society. 48 (1): 89–92. Thanks (Lajmmoore (talk) 15:44, 16 October 2020 (UTC))

:::{{ping|Lajmmoore}} Yes. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:16, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

::::{{ping|Cwmhiraeth}} Great. I think we're good to go: article(s) are new enough and long enough, there's a QPQ, hook is interesting, article is neutral and I see no issues with plagairism. (& I learnt something new!) (Lajmmoore (talk) 08:06, 19 October 2020 (UTC))

:::::*{{ping|Lajmmoore}} In future, please review each article in a multiple nomination individually so the promoter can see what you've reviewed and also so you can claim each review as a QPQ. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 13:56, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

::::::*{{u|Yoninah}}, Thanks for the pointer - I hadn't realised that. Will do that in future, Lajmmoore (talk) 14:00, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
