(
)

Improved to Good Article status by JoJo Eumerus mobile (talk). Self-nominated at 06:49, 30 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Zavodovski Island; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - See below in comments.
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Obviously, the hook works as it got my eyeballs here! Article improved to GA in time; no copyright vios detected. Minor quibbles: the wikilinking should be revised. The way it is currently presented inadvertently deceives the reader into thinking that they will be lead into an article about the island's smell. The wording of the hook itself is A-OK, but needs to be cited in this nomination as well. QPQ also pending. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 22:16, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

I realize this is asking a lot, but I can't provide a QPQ via phone editing so can I ask that this DYK be kept on hold for a week? WRT the hook, it is sourced in the article and I don't think it's an easter egg - a reader can expect a Zavodovski-related article. JoJo Eumerus mobile (main talk) 07:17, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
Also, I actually need a QPQ here - I have a lot of DYKs under my main account Jo-Jo Eumerus. JoJo Eumerus mobile (main talk) 07:08, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello, if I can I'd like to donate a QPQ from Template:Did you know nominations/Paroedura maingoka! I really like this hook, thanks for the article. CurryTime7-24 were there any other issues? Fritzmann (message me) 17:03, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Fritzmann2002 Absolutely and thank you! The hook itself is fine and needs no revision. Just the wikilink formatting remains the only issue. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 02:14, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
You know, like an idiot I didn't remember the donated QPQ and thus wrote this one. I still don't agree that the wikilink is a problem. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 13:01, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
I can only speak for myself, but I initially thought the link would lead me to an article about the island's stench or some such because of the way it was formatted. Would love to hear what another uninvolved editor thinks. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 18:26, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
It is a little bit of a butter cookie tin link. "MMMMmmm cookies, what, black magic supplies? Interesting, but I wanted a cookie." Not all the way to being a total Easter egg link because the fact of the island stinking is in the lead/head of the article. I lean towards not making "stink" part of the link. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 23:33, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
Something like the ALT? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 07:17, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
