Formatting error affecting placement of images - Wikipedia's January '23 new look to blame?

In the present state of the article (March 2023), some quirk of the formatting I'm not able to diagnose is pushing half of the in-article images down into the References section, where they're overlapping with the text. Scrutiny of the article history makes it look like the problem is the inclusion of a second image in the infobox, but an examination of the page code also shows that the non-infobox images are outright not displaying where they're meant to be - they're meant to be included under Description and Breeding. If you go by the article history, the images haven't been displayed in the proper places for over three years; but the article's last edit was in November 2022, and I don't credit that nobody noticed it before then. As such, I suspect that the actual culprit here is Wikipedia's big display changes in January 2023. Either way, somebody better-versed in Wikipedia's formatting than I am will need to take a look at this. 86.178.19.176 (talk) 17:50, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Fixed. One of hte images had the "left" tag. I've removed that. I'm not using the current display formatting but the 2010 version. - UtherSRG (talk) 17:56, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Conservation

The "Conservation" section states, "Where usually 6000 pairs nested, 30 pairs and around 60 pairs attempted breeding in 1982 and 1983 respectively." That is an astounding drop. While classified as "least concern" by the IUCN, it would seem that there is some concern that something may be causing possible extirpation. Hopefully, the information is outdated, and there has been a positive update since 42 years have elapsed. -- Otr500 (talk) 06:03, 7 September 2025 (UTC)

Looks fine to me. It's stating that the El Nino/El Nina oscillation has an impact on breeding, not that breeding overall has been reduced to those levels. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:35, 7 September 2025 (UTC)
