I'll take this one. Freikorp (talk) 11:32, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm passing this. This is my 59th GAN review and only the second one I've felt deserved to be passed immediately. I'm being picky, but the only things I would change would be wikilinking Slate gray in the lead and un-abbreviating IUCN, as people not familiar with conservation (such as myself) won't have a clue what that stands for. Well done on a fantastically written and comprehensive article. Freikorp (talk) 11:59, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks, Freikorp! I think we may have just given some watchers whiplash, going from this to GA in 25 hours ;) Vanamonde (talk) 12:23, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oh wow, I didn't actually notice how recent the improvements were. That's pretty amazing :). Freikorp (talk) 12:32, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
