Overall: Article promoted to GA status on November 18. Well-written article and interesting hooks (esp. ALT0). Strongly approve once QPQ completed.  Ploni^💬  15:49, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

@Ploni: Thank you very much! Regarding the QPQ: This is my second DYK nomination, and I also did one review (now added above). Jens Lallensack (talk) 18:16, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Perfect! Approved.  Ploni^💬  18:25, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

@Jens Lallensack and Ploni: I like ALT0 but it does not appear to be supported in our article. Our article seems to say some females abandon chicks after the eggs hatch and some do not. Will add "some" to the hook without objection.
