  • Template:Ping
  • long enough (Template:Tq), new enough (Template:Tq). Hasn't been on front page before. Every non-lede paragraph has citations; no apparent copyright violations. Images are appropriately licensed.
  • Hooks interesting, properly formatted, stated in article, and appropriately referenced. Image in article.
  • QPQ done
  • I wonder if better wording might make use of Template:Tq/Template:Tq or something like that instead of Template:Tq? But I guess your wording in the original / ALT1 is fine.
  • Slight preference for Template:Tq over Template:Tq, but I'll leave the decision to the promoter.

  • Comment I agree with Umimmak - it would be preferable to change the wording to "has been observed" or "has been recorded", which is more standard usage and avoids the suggestion that this behaviour has only ever happened once. PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 07:18, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
