@Arconning: I think we should all be good! Thank you for finding the new source. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 16:43, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

Prose and MoS

Lead and infobox

• Wikilink weir in the lead, seeing that it's also wikilinked in the body of the article.

Description

• "It has a drainage area of 7.1 km2 (2.7 sq mi)" missing full-stop here
• "the highest point on the island,." extra comma here

Biology

• "Dichotomosiphon tuberosus, Caloglossa ogasawaraensis, Bostrychia simpliciuscula.", "Dichotomosiphon tuberosus, Caloglossa ogasawaraensis, and Bostrychia simpliciuscula."

History

• "A The ugan (shrine) of Tumai-ugan", a bit confused on what article should be used here, please select one! :)
• "lunar month", wikilink to lunar calendar.
• Searched more about Aramidi, found this source additionally stating that the river was also used as a place for washing potatoes. Aramidi also gives thanks to their local water god, where they also conduct river cleanings.

Images

• Both of the images used in the article are under proper licensing, are relevant to the article, and have appropriate captioning. All good here.

References

• Earwig turns out alright.
• Reference checks: 1, 3, 5, 8, 15. All good here.

Miscellaneous

• No ongoing edit war, broad enough information, neutral. All good here.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

• Cited:
• Interesting: - ?

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Recently passed GA without any obvious issues after a spot-check of the sources. However, the hook doesn't seem that interesting; using a river to wash crops doesn't seem particularly unique or noteworthy. @Generalissima: do you have anything else? Yue🌙 (talk) 05:02, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

• Yue Hmm, I thought it was interesting. Is this better? Generalissima (talk) (it/she)

ALT1: ...that the Tabaru River hosts the westernmost mangroves in Japan?

https://www.manglobal.or.jp/yonagunijima/tabarugawa/ 探鳥地としても知られる日本最西端のマングローブである。 It has the westernmost mangroves in Japan and is also known as a bird-watching spot.

@Generalissima: Sure. Yue🌙 (talk) 05:38, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
