Birding in New York City

  • ... that Zelda went cold turkey in 2014? Source: Zelda, the Resident Turkey of Battery Park, Is Feared Dead [1]

    • Comment: Rhododendrites wrote the article, I'm submitting it on his behalf. Technically, this existed in mainspace for a few minutes on 2022-06-11, but the newness check really should be relative to today's move back into mainspace [2]

If we go with ALT0, it might make sense to hold this for November 24th (Thanksgiving in the US, where Turkey is the traditional entree). Created by Rhododendrites (talk). Nominated by RoySmith (talk) at 16:47, 1 October 2022 (UTC).

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Great article, you might even go for GA status. Love the "hookiness" of ALT0. -- P 1 9 9   17:52, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

I hadn't even realized until after the fact that I had suggested two for Thanksgiving day. My bad. Let's go with the other one for T-day. In fact, I've struck ALT0 on this one; as much as I'm proud of the off-the-wallness of it, I don't think it does the article justice. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:56, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
  • For the record, ALT1 is reviewed and approved too. -- P 1 9 9   22:06, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
