QPQ: - Not done
Overall: Well done on the GA review @Tails Wx :) preference for ALT1. Nothing else of note, really. Just ping me if the QPQ is done. PSA 🏕️ (talk) 07:21, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, PSA, I've provided the QPQ above! :) ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 13:55, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, @Tails Wx. Good to go PSA 🏕️ (talk) 02:01, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- I quite enjoyed ALT1 but it's not really correct @Tails Wx and PSA: the source includes the quote "the sea lion remained inside the zoo, never breaching the zoo’s secondary perimeter" and is clear that she only managed to escape her enclosure. I've thus struck the hook; it will need rephrasing as ALT1a if it is desired that it runs. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:30, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- AirshipJungleman29, how about this:
- ALT1a: ...that floods across New York City in September 2023 breached a female sea lion's enclosure at the Central Park Zoo, which led her to briefly escape it?
