Improved to Good Article status by Eewilson (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 00:21, 24 November 2022 (UTC).
Newly promoted to GA when nominated, obviously long enough. Thorough GA review - I have no concerns about sourcing and adherence to policy. ALT2 seems like the most unique hook, at least for a general audience. Image looks lovely at small size and is free license. QPQ checks out, we're good to go here. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 06:14, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you, PMC! I didn’t nominate for DYK but have no suggestions on when it might appear on the main page. I like ALT2 the best as well. Had added that alt after the nomination, and I personally find that to be the most interesting thing about this species. – Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 16:51, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
