• The article is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, and contains no copyvio or neutrality issues. The hooks are formatted correctly, sourced properly, and are interesting. QPQ has been completed. Good job with the article. GMH Melbourne (talk) 21:30, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
• Awesome hook! Will prep this. Can't choose from ALT0 or ALT1, they both are good. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 09:00, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

@Di (they-them), Chaotic Enby, and Reconrabbit: Reopened per WT:DYK. I am not au fait with copyright - what gives you the right to release it under Creative Commons given "Photograph taken by my partner"?--Launchballer 16:01, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

@Launchballer: On WP:DISCORD, ChaoticEnby said that their partner released the photo under the CC license and gave them permission to upload it. Di (they-them) (talk) 16:03, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

My partner (currently in Melbourne) took the picture while visiting the aquarium, and they're okay with it being released under Creative Commons. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 16:05, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

I see. I suspect Commons might want to see something but I'm sufficiently unfamiliar that I think I should farm this out to somebody more versed in this kind of thing.--Launchballer 16:11, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Since this nomination is open again, I would like to request that it be an image hook using commons:File:Pesto (penguin).png. Di (they-them) (talk) 16:18, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Yes, that was kind of the idea of me reopening this. I've added it myself.--Launchballer 16:23, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

It's not a terrible image, but it's not great quality either. While I appreciate the effort in getting the photo, I'd pass on running it. RoySmith (talk) 16:57, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Personally I think it would be a good idea to use the image. People love cute baby animals, and I think it would get a lot more people to read the article. Di (they-them) (talk) 19:54, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

I agree with Di! I've uploaded a few other pictures my partner sent me in c:Category:Pesto (penguin), one of them can replace the current infobox picture if they are preferred. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 20:36, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

The close-up version's probably better. I'll leave it to you to update the article.--Launchballer 23:12, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Done, thanks! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 23:21, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Might I suggest commons:File:Pesto (penguin) (cropped).png instead? I think this one is better because it shows Pesto's body from the front, and the other image has reflection on the glass. Di (they-them) (talk) 23:25, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Fine by me.--Launchballer 23:40, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

I want to point out that Katy Perry has now officially met with Pesto and could not kiss him due to biosecurity measures. So, I would not use ALT1 now, but if it is used I would change it to "wanted" instead of "wants". Di (they-them) (talk) 01:15, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Giving this another tick to put it back in Approved, but only for ALT0 per above.--Launchballer 13:38, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
