 * Symbol voting keep.svg Recent GA, obviously long enough. A copyvio check on Earwig is misleading as it reports reverse copyvios on YouTube and quotations, so I don't think there's an issue. The main hook is interesting, but where does the source actually say it's about wildlife conservation? In any case, I think ALT1 is more of an attention grabber. I can't access the Sun Sentinel source to verify the claim, because I'm on the wrong side of the pond and it only allows US residents to view it. So I'll have to AGF on that. (I seem to recall was on holiday around there recently, or am I just imagining things?) Ritchie333 (talk)  (cont)  20:20, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
 * it's all good, the sources provide different ways of telling the 'partnership' arrangement and what it deals with; Sun Sentinel says it was "to promote ocean health and shark conservation" while others like the Miami Herald says its "to educate park-goers about the vulnerability of shark species through exhibits" or PRNewswire from the park stating its "focused on ocean health and the plight of sharks in the wild" Moreover, I think us Floridians would be only interested in the first since Guy Harvey is big here . Nonetheless, I appreciate the review!  Adog 104  Talk to me 22:59, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
