Criteria marked are unassessed

Stability

• Last edit on June 14th; no edit war in place.

Media

• Hymenolaemus malacorhynchus, Gmelin. Whistling of Mountain Duck. "Wio."'s caption needs a citation;
• Not sure Whio_pair_Iris_Burn_Stevage.jpg is relevant as the ducks can be barely seen.
• All other media is relevant and free or tagged.

Copyvio

• Earwig's Copyvio Dectector points to 29,6%, that is, violation unlikely;
• Earwig points to WP:CLOP issues with Vulkaner's article, this is because it uses Wikipedia as a source, thus making it WP:CIRCULAR.

@The Blue Rider, thanks for starting the review of my GAN. Now coming to your preliminary findings, I see that the media image has a citation in caption and I will quote the source text here as well as the link.

Hymenoltemus malacorhynchus, Gmelin. Whistling or Mountain Duck. “ Wio.” (Case VIII. Nos. 9 and 10 : male and female.) Reference -https://archive.org/details/classifiedlistm00bull/page/54/mode/2up?q=blue+duck

I changed the second image to a better one. Also I fixed the WP:CIRCULAR text from vulkaner by replacing it with other reliable sources. Sddarealone (talk) 07:07, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
