• ... that Terrance the octopus held back laying fertilized eggs for two months following its capture? Source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2024/04/13/terrance-octopus-babies-tiktok-oklahoma/
  « Terrance, who was found off California’s coast, mated before she was caught by a diver. The delayed delivery was a product of octopuses’ ability to withhold laying their eggs until they feel safe. »

Overall: Article is new enough, long enough, is well sourced to news outlets, and it plagiarism free. There are two notes in the article that need addressing: one "who?" after 'commenters' - please be specific. Also there is a ^{[citation needed]}, please add a reference. No QPQ is required. Hook is cited, but I'm not sure it is the most interesting option? The striking thing seems to be the connections between the octopus and Tiktok, so perhaps that could be an alternative hook? Picture is free, and the background is clear, but the actual octopus (which is isn't Terrance) is quite blurry. Overall a nice article, thank you! Lajmmoore (talk) 22:07, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how the image is relevant since it doesn't actually depict the octopus we're talking about; its use in the infobox instead of the body of the article in question is also questionable. AryKun (talk) 07:15, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Yug: please could you address some of the points in the DYK review? I also moved the image as per AryKun's comment. I don't think it should be in the nomination either. Lajmmoore (talk) 07:31, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
