Klepetan and Malena

  • ... that Klepetan and Malena has been called "Croatia's most unusual love story"? Source: "[1] Title: "Klepetan and Malena – Croatia’s most Unusual Love Story"
    • ALT1:... that a Croatian janitor was the caretaker of Klepetan and Malena, a pair of renowned white storks? [2] "One man, a former school janitor Stjepan Vokić has been taking care of Malena ever since she was injured and, of course, her beloved Klepetan", [3] This link simply confirms that they are white storks.
  • Reviewed: This is my second DYK, so I am opting to not review

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: With 1,697 characters of readable prose it just squeaks by the 1,500 character limit. @CaptainEek and TheMemeMonarch: Issues found:

  • The hook is not actually in the article, yes it is the title of a source, but is not in the article and thus not eligable
  • The source in the lead needs to be moved into the article
  • The prose mentiones "Klepetan and Malena" first, then goes to state that Marlena was found first, then Klepetan was spotted - these two sentences seem to not mesh. Can this be addressed? MPJ-DK (talk) 17:29, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
@MPJ-DK: I have tended to the issues discussed. Let me know what else needs to be done. Thanks for the review! Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n! 06:54, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
