Improved to Good Article status by Atsme (talk). Self-nominated at 18:02, 19 April 2019 (UTC).
- Promoted to GA recently enough. Copyvio possible from Encyclopedia of Arkansas according to Earwig. Can't find this URL in the Internet Archive or I'd check the dates of when it was posted. I'm inclined to think the E of Arkansas is plagiarizing the WP article, though, as none of Earwig's triggered words and phrases were added since the E of Arkansas article was last updated in September 2018. I like Alt0, though I think it would be more concise if you said "and more critically endangered than any other group of animal species". At first I assumed you were talking about fish species, but then I read the link and saw that it was all animals, which is quite an interesting hook. It would be good if you made this small adjustment in the article itself for clarity. Image accompanying hooks is not used in article, so it needs to be added in. Waiting for QPQ also.

- Good suggestions, Enwebb. I added "animal" to the hook and in the article, added the image to the article (that I forgot to do earlier), and I agree that the copyvio did not originate with the WP article. Atsme Talk 📧 04:10, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

- Got your ping, Enwebb. For some reason, I thought I had a QPQ credit. Where do we look to find out? Atsme Talk 📧 16:18, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Atsme I apologize for being obtuse--I assumed that you, like me, used your 5 QPQ exemptions for your first 5 DYK credits. Have confirmed this is not the case. Thanks, Enwebb (talk) 02:27, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
