Jellyfish bloom
A golden jellyfish bloom in Jellyfish Lake.

that jellyfish blooms (pictured), similar to those portrayed in Finding Nemo, are being stimulated by climate change? Source: "The frequency of jellyfish blooms is currently being investigated to determine if global trends are increasing as climate patterns shift. Eutrophication, hypoxia, rising global ocean temperatures, coastal development, overfishing, are suspected to be stimulating the growth of jellyfish populations." (article references 10-14)- ALT1:... that, despite posing significant risks to swimmers, fewer than one in ten beach-goers would cancel a beach trip due to jellyfish blooms (pictured)? Source: "A study surveying beach goers in Israel found that only between 3-10% said jellyfish blooms would be a factor causing them to cancel a beach trip." (article reference #32)
ALT2:... that jellyfish blooms (pictured) can clog coastal power plants, causing up to $5.5 million in losses per day? Source: "While total shutdown due to jellyfish clogging is uncommon, revenue losses can be significant. In some estimates, revenue losses are up to $5.5 million per day during a shutdown." (article reference #9)- ALT3:... that jellyfish blooms (pictured) can clog coastal power plants, causing up to $84,000 in losses per day? Source: "While total shutdown due to jellyfish clogging is uncommon, revenue losses can be significant. In some estimates, revenue losses are up to $5.5 million per day during a shutdown." (article reference #9)

ALT3 ready to be promoted, per discussion below! Skeletor3000 (talk) 21:18, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
Article is long enough, new enough (since its move from userspace), and written/sourced well. However, I think ALT2 is the strongest hook, and it contains an error. The source states that shutdowns can cost 5.5 million INR per day, which translates to roughly $100,000. FWIW, I think the fact that jellyfish blooms can shut down a coastal power plant would be interesting enough on its own. Skeletor3000 (talk) 19:54, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
@Skeletor3000: Ah thanks for that catch, I've edited the hook accordingly (see ALT3). Yerkes-Dodson (talk) 21:09, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
: @Yerkes-Dodson: the lead image in the article (and the hook image above) and several other images in the article are under discussion as potential copyright violations. The images should be removed or replaced until copyright status is settled. --Animalparty! (talk) 21:58, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- Also, @Skeletor3000: a reminder to check at least cursorily for neutrality as well as close paraphrasing, copyright violations and plagiarism in text as well. A DYK review should indicate absence of such problems. --Animalparty! (talk) 22:20, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Animalparty: Thanks. I did a copyvio check on the article text, but neglected to check the images. I'll be sure to do that, and indicate that I've checked for neutrality, etc, explicitly in future reviews. Skeletor3000 (talk) 22:43, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Animalparty: @Skeletor3000: Thanks for looking into that! I've since replaced the hook image and removed/replaced all article images that may be copyright violations; would you be willing to double check that the article/images now meet the necessary criteria? Yerkes-Dodson (talk) 23:00, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
@Yerkes-Dodson: The image is not the first I'd have gone with, but it meets DYK criteria. None of the images, nor the article, have any further copyright issues. The article is new/long/neutral enough, and QPQ is done. Yerkes-Dodson, you don't need to cite images btw, so I removed this ref. Everything else seems fine, so I'm restoring the green checkmark for ALT3. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 04:53, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
