Overall: i fangirl for none. But for John Green's lovely, fantastic, and insightful The Anthropocene Reviewed, my inner Nerdfighter might just fawn a bit. Thank you for improving this to GA status! In my position as reviewer (of the DYK nomination for) The Anthropocene Reviewed, I give this nomination and its nominators five stars. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 02:19, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

I'm glad you enjoy the nomination, I was excited I was able to help get it to GA status! I think "velociraptors" is a fun alternative. I originally chose Penguins of Madagascar because it made the list two things commonly reviewed (a movie and a place to eat) followed by something you wouldn't expect to be reviewed, but I think highlighting the weirdness of the review topics right away is a great option. I would be happy with any of the alts. Thanks for your review! --13:52, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
