General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - No
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited:
Interesting:
Other problems: - The cited fact is a stretch to include on the article for social buffering.

QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Effblandl: At the moment I see significant barriers for promotion. There is a large amount of unsourced material in the article. At minimum each paragraph must end with a reference and all of the material in the article must be backed up by a reference. The sentence for the cited hook: Visual cues - In certain animals, visual cues may be enough to evoke the effects of social buffering. These effects were shown in sheep, where seeing pictures of other sheep's faces reduced behavioral and physiological stress responses. is cited to an article that does not mention the concept of social buffering (and I see several other bits in the article that seem to suggest similar WP:SYNTH). ~ F4U (talk • they/it) 05:51, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
