was exhibited at the Belgrade Zoo – I would recommend "was kept at the Belgrade Zoo" to maintain the neutral point of view.
Broglio 2019, p. 286 – The full citation can be found in the same list, which might be not ideal. Usually there is a separate "Bibliography" section with the full citation. An alternative would be to use rp-templates, e.g. {{rp|286}}, placed directly behind the citation to provide the page number in-text.
Professor Ron Broglio – we usually don't use titles in Wikipedia. Better introduce him like this: "Serbian ethnologist Ron Broglio", and replace "ethnologist" with his specialisation. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 19:14, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Jens Lallensack. Thanks for picking this up. I've altered the opening sentence. Broglio isn't Serbian and I'm not sure he's an ethnologist. His bio says he's a professor of English and the humanities. So I've changed it to "scholar". As for point #2, I'm not sure I follow. Since it's a minor formatting issue, do you think you can adjust it to your satisfaction? Amanuensis Balkanicus (talk) 17:23, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I tried with the rp-templates. They are the most flexible way. If you don't like them, we can have a separate list for full citations, though that might look odd as Broglio would be the only entry. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 17:47, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jens Lallensack: Whatever you prefer. Any other comments, suggestions or concerns? Amanuensis Balkanicus (talk) 17:49, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, this is looking solid. Will pass it now, congrats! --Jens Lallensack (talk) 17:50, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article was recently promoted to GA with no other issues barring the article from being featured in DYK. Both hooks look good in terms of referencing and are short enough, though I think ALT0 is the more interesting hook. The image complements both proposed hooks well and has is free. This looks good to go, nice work! ❯❯❯ Mccunicano ☕️ 01:25, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
