... that five-year-old Jacob Philadelphia (pictured) asked
Barack Obama if he had hair like mine? Source: ""I want to know if my hair is just like yours,” he told Mr. Obama, so quietly that the president asked him to speak again. Jacob did, and Mr. Obama replied, "Why don't you touch it and see for yourself?" He lowered his head, level with Jacob, who hesitated. "Touch it, dude!" Mr. Obama said. As Jacob patted the presidential crown, Mr. Souza snapped. "So, what do you think?" Mr. Obama asked. "Yes, it does feel the same," Jacob said." (

Hi
No Swan So Fine, what a lovely article! Review follows: article created 24 July; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't spot any issues with overly close paraphrasing, the many quotes are correctly attributed; hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and cited; image is free and appropriately tagged. My only comment is that the lead is currently very short and should be expanded to summarise the article per
WP:Lead; I also think that the lead shouldn't contain information not included in the main body (eg the date of the photograph) -

The sebae anemone (Heteractis crispa) is a species of
sea anemone belonging to the family
Stichodactylidae. It is widespread throughout the tropical and subtropical waters of the
Indo-Pacific, from the eastern coasts of Africa and the
Red Sea to
Polynesia, and from south Japan to Australia and
New Caledonia. It prefers hard-base
substrates slightly covered with sand but it can also attach to branching
corals from the surface to a depth of 40 metres (130 ft). This sebae anemone was photographed in
Ras Muhammad National Park, Egypt. A tiny
Red Sea clownfish can be seen among the anemone's
tentacles in the centre of the image.
