- Comment: There's a picture of the python. I'll get in touch with the photographer and hopefully be able to add that to the article and this nom.

Overall: 
I like ATL0 as interesting and supported by the Honolulu Star reference - with the exception of this: 1. is the word Hawaii misspelled? And 2. Is it called Hawaii airport? - the reference says "Honolulu Airport"? I made some additions to the article for the purposes of clarity or conlusions. The article is interesting and the concept is as will. The use of the word amnesty in the Amazon situation somehow seems out of place in the context of amnesty. The whole article is about the avoidance of consequences related to wrong doing, but the Amazon situation seems different. The article has 5k characters, and when the hook is addressed it will be supported by the reference. I could not access Reference #7, but I will assume good faith based on the title of the section that the reference is supporting the paragraph. The editor's QPQ is completed. The article is free of copyright violations and it is written from a neutral viewpoint. The article has sufficient inline citations which support the sections. No photograph is needed. Once the question about the airport - hook ATL0 is cleared up, contact me. Bruxton (talk) 17:29, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, Bruxton! Hawaii was not spelled wrong, but I've removed the ʻOkina after reviewing the related MOS guidelines. ALT0 currently says "a Hawaii airport" which – and this might be a dialect/colloquialism thing – means the same thing as "an airport in Hawaii" which I'd also be perfectly happy to use in the hook. The cited article says "at Honolulu Airport" which isn't the official name (but might have been at the time). That'd also be fine in the hook, as would "at the airport in Honolulu" or "at the Honolulu airport". I'd like to stick to one wikilink in each hook, so I don't want to use the new official name Daniel K. Inouye International Airport as it won't be recognizable to most. I trust the promoter will read this and make their choice of the options here – Bruxton, feel free to strike any options you don't think would be suitable during your final review.
Also, for your own convenience, I don't think it's necessary to use so much typed text along with the {{DYK checklist}} – I've found that, when using that template, only the parts marked "no" or "maybe" generally need further explanation. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 19:21, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for the advice about reviews. I like the way it reads right now. well done. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bruxton (talk • contribs) 19:40, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
Lack of information about Amnesty bins or Amnesty rooms in military or amnesty rooms in general
[edit]to my knowledge, Amnesty bins, and Amnesty rooms are employed by the united states military, which this article makes no mention of. infact, there is no amnesty room article anywhere on wikipedia. i would suggest that either it warrants its own page, or atleast a presence on a subsection here. i would suggest urgent action here, as this being a relatively bare article, i doubt there is much review of this article. i dont want to take matters into my own hands, considering i literally made a wikipedia account the day of writing this talk page section, which means the quality of my writing will most likely be sub-par as to what this subject deserves. ill leave a citation for the principle of it, but there are other and better sources, im just leaving this because im a little short for time. btw, if ive submitted this talk page in some incorrect way, please do let me know, im very new to this.

- Thanks, Fathom-My-Grustle! I'm sure I or someone else will get around to adding this eventually, if you don't do it first. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 20:20, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
