QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article meets eligibility requirements. No concerns with sourcing, neutrality, or plagiarism. QPQ done. Hook is cited to a source which refers to a 2004 survey of the island.

Not a fan of the usage of "apparently" in the hook. Was there a survey done after 2004? If not, I think we can perhaps drop the word "apparently".

Re: the image. It seems to be a screen grab of a Youtube video. I will admit that I do not fully understand the legality of sourcing an image from an Youtube video. Doesnt the video have to be CC / PD for such a screen grab. Looking at the video here, it does not appear to be so, right? Or am I missing something? Ktin (talk) 15:42, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

• ALT1 ... that no mammals have been found on Booby Island?

(I wanted to work into the hook something about how searching for mammals turned out to be a bust but it ended up sounding too strained.) —David Eppstein (talk) 19:13, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

• Don't be silly, David Eppstein. With this kind of subject, the more strained the better.
  • ALT2 ... that the search for mammals on Booby Island was a big bust?

I hope the bust hook gets full support. (I can't imagine how I missed that possibility, given, ya know, Talk:Queen_Elizabeth_II_(painting).) On other points:

• Thanks for the quick review, Ktin.
• The image description page [1] indicates the licensing is appropriate.
• Also, I checked the img at 100px and it seems fine to me at that size.

• I'd like to offer my strong support for ALT2. (I'm so glad that editors have been keeping abreast of this subject.) --Tryptofish (talk) 23:14, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

  You do know we're all going to hell for this, don't you? EEng 01:51, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Marking hooks ALT2 and ALT1 as approved. I see what the editor is attempting with ALT2 and it does not appear to be a booby trap. So, if the promoting admin wants a preference -- It is ALT2 over ALT1. Ktin (talk) 23:45, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

For context and traceability, this edit was made after the approval. That said, if we are going with ALT2, I am good going with ALT2 revised. Fallback is ALT1. ALT2 continues to remain approved even after the most recent edit. Ktin (talk) 03:08, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
