Overall: Article was expanded more than fivefold from May 15 to May 22 and nominated within seven days. Length and sourcing are adequate. Article appear neutral in tone and no plagiarism issues detected. While the Earwig tool highlights many areas, these are proper names, title and quotes which are not violations. Proposed hook is interesting, mentioned inline, properly cited and verified. All images and photos used in the article are properly licensed on the commons. The thumbnail image used on the nomination is clear at a low resolution and related to the hook. User has less than five DYK credits, therefore QPQ is not required. NOTE: The bibliography and its URLs should be formatted according to WP:BIBLIOGRAPHY, and the introduction should be rearranged to three or four paragraphs according to WP:MOSLEAD, but neither of these are DYK criteria.

Thanks for reviewing my nomination! I'm happy with the shorter hook. Just wondering if the bibliography should be removed as it is a duplication of information already covered in the reference section? --Southpaw20 (talk) 07:49, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
ALT1 is also approved and meets DYK criteria. The rest of the article is as per my previous review. There is no proference mandated for how references are formatted. Please see WP:REF and make your own choice. I still suggest looking at WP:BIBLIOGRAPHY. Cheers. Flibirigit (talk) 09:29, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The song "Ghosts of the Past" by Jimmy Gregory (1996)[1] begins with the lyric: "A lonely gull on a darkened sky cries over the Isle de la Mort", which is a reference to the Isle of the Dead. However, as much as I might wish otherwise, I admit it is insufficiently notable to mention in the article. 118.210.163.176 (talk) 13:44, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
