Overall: @Maury Markowitz: Long enough, sourced, and neutral. Everything on my end looks good, my only concern being the image, and if it is published under the stated copyright. I am unsure of how to verify it, given the source is simply a link to the image URL, and if you are able to address that single concern it should be 100% good on my end! Additionally, not a huge issue, but you misspelled "Ratcliff" as "Radliff" which threw me off on finding the source for a moment (I was convinced you used a factoid that wasn't in the article for a second there!). Good work on the nomination! As soon as I am certain the image is free I'll give you the goahead! Ornithoptera (talk) 00:15, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Ornithoptera: I was not sure where to put the link to the license - i thought the commons upload process would ask, but nope. Anyway, as you can see on the page's license page, all images are CC-by-4.0 : https://planet-irata.net/en/copyright/#own !!!!

Awesome! You're all set @Maury Markowitz:! Good work and it was nice working with you! Thank you for the clarification and good work on the article! Ornithoptera (talk) 01:25, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
