- I like ALT1 but I cannot confirm it in the article. For ALT0 I can confirm the hook and it is somewhat interesting. The article was recently promoted to GA and it is 15,125 characters so it qualifies. The QPQ is done and the article is neutral. Earwig is 7.4% and the article has references and citations. The image is licensed as free but I am unsure about where it is from and it is not great at this size. I recommend against using the image. Bruxton (talk) 02:18, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Bruxton, and thanks for the review. Could you please specify what information you need. Regarding ALT1, the article has this sentence: "The horned sungem has recently expanded into Espírito Santo and southern Amazonia, being one of few hummingbirds that have recently increased their range." Regarding the image, I do not understand what you mean with "not great at this size"; are you suggesting to crop it (which would be no problem)? "Where it is from" – the link to the source is provided in the commons page of the image (it is a freely licensed research paper). Jens Lallensack (talk) 02:35, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, looking again ALT0 is fine as is and likely better than ALT1 anyway. The image is in fact properly licensed as you say... but it is difficult for me to see the bird. So a crop would make it useable at this size. Thank you for the clarification. Bruxton (talk) 02:41, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- Great, thanks. I cropped the image, and hope that solves the issue. It is the only closeup image in existence that shows this species robbing nectar, so it is pretty fortunate that it happens to be freely licensed. Jens Lallensack (talk) 02:55, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
