Overall: Article new enough and long enough. Passes earwig, no close paraphrasing was found, and the hook is quite interesting, cited inline, and verified. Image appropriately licensed. I'd suggest linking "people" in the hook to Malagasy peoples, but otherwise GTG.Pseud 14 (talk) 14:56, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article has a {{clump}} tag; this should be resolved before this runs.--Laun chba ller 09:57, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Zanahary and Pseud 14: Fixed ping.--Laun chba ller 09:58, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Launchballer: done! Zanahary (talk) 17:50, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Better, although I've just noticed that much of the "Algorithmically-generated columns" lacks of end-of-paragraph citations, is this covered by another policy?--Laun chba ller 14:32, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’ll fix that—I think it’s a relic from when that content was a single paragraph. It all comes from just one source. Zanahary (talk) 16:03, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fine by me. I don't plan on promoting this while there are five hooks in the bottom set, but this is ready.--Laun chba ller 16:14, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
