    • ALT1: ... that the Neptune-sized exoplanet TOI-1853 b (pictured) might be almost entirely made of solid rock and water? Source: "TOI-1853 b is best described as a bare core of half water and half rock with no or negligible envelope, or as having at most 1% atmospheric H/He mass fraction on top of a 99% Earth-like rocky interior"

Overall: Rjjiii (talk) 20:55, 29 March 2026 (UTC) @Nrco0e: This is in pretty good shape! For full disclosure, I used a script that feeds snippets of the article and the cited sources to an LLM to help with spot-checking for verifiability and plagiarism. You can see the results at User talk:Rjjiii § LLM disclosure. I also checked everything manually. No issues with the article. The ALT0 hook sounds good. For the ALT1 hook to be promoted, it needs to be phrased as definite fact (maybe about what the scientists said?). I like the image a lot for the infobox. For DYK, it most likely won't be used as it's too hard to parse at thumbnail size. The DYK guideline at WP:DYKIMG says that " images in particular must display well in the small size of the {{main page image/DYK}} template (140x140 pixels, adjusted for aspect ratio)". The guideline does allow though for doing a modified version of this image even if that exact file isn't used in the article, so you could do (for example) a crop with fewer words or no words.

  • @Rjjiii: Thank you for the thorough review! I've made a textless version of the image here: File:TOI-1853 b size comparison textless.png. Let me know if that is acceptable. I was considering rephrasing ALT1 to say "scientists think that the Neptune-sized exoplanet TOI-1853 b (pictured) is entirely made of solid rock and water", but I still personally prefer ALT0.

    • @Nrco0e: gotcha. I'll approve both hooks with a preference as well for ALT0. I don't have any issues with the image. If you (or the promoter) would like, the thumbnail can use the |link= parameter to still link to the original full image at File:TOI-1853 b size comparison.png with the legend. Good luck with the GA nomination, and I look forward to seeing this show up on the Main Page. Rjjiii (talk) 21:54, 29 March 2026 (UTC)
