fixed; I avoided the term entirely.
thanks, fixed.
Only mentioned very briefly in the Portuguese source … I am not sure. I simplified it to avoid the issue, to be on safer ground.
done.
I changed to "restricted", as it is important to note that it did not abate by itself; this required political action.
Done (changed to "such as" to make clear that it is just some examples).

Jens Lallensack - That's all I've got. Everything else looks good. Refs check out, pictures are good and properly licensed, and it's a good coverage of what research is available. Feel free to reply to my comments inline, and feel free to disagree with any if you think I'm wrong! grungaloo (talk) 04:07, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Grungaloo - Thank you very much! While digging into the issues you raised, I discovered some more sources which I included as well. Now the article seems complete enough that I might be tempted to even bring it to FAC. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 00:00, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Everything looks great. Glad to hear about the extra sources too - I'll keep an eye out for this at FAC one day! This is a really well written article and I'm happy to promote this to GA. Congrats! grungaloo (talk) 02:55, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bruxton, and thanks for the review. Could you please specify what information you need. Regarding ALT1, the article has this sentence: "The horned sungem has recently expanded into Espírito Santo and southern Amazonia, being one of few hummingbirds that have recently increased their range." Regarding the image, I do not understand what you mean with "not great at this size"; are you suggesting to crop it (which would be no problem)? "Where it is from" – the link to the source is provided in the commons page of the image (it is a freely licensed research paper). Jens Lallensack (talk) 02:35, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, looking again ALT0 is fine as is and likely better than ALT1 anyway. The image is in fact properly licensed as you say... but it is difficult for me to see the bird. So a crop would make it useable at this size. Thank you for the clarification. Bruxton (talk) 02:41, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Great, thanks. I cropped the image, and hope that solves the issue. It is the only closeup image in existence that shows this species robbing nectar, so it is pretty fortunate that it happens to be freely licensed. Jens Lallensack (talk) 02:55, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I moved the tick to reflect that we are all good. Bruxton (talk) 03:55, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
