Comment: Currently nominated at ITN, but not gaining much traction. Will withdraw if it is posted there. Lots of edits over the past days, I have tried to pick out the most significant contributors so far but happy for more to be added.
Overall: All good here. An alternative hook could talk about the oil leakage and damage to the reef, but both extant hooks are sourced and viable. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:33, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
