Article is new enough and long enough, has no apparent issues, and I like it. My one question is if the hook might be better if it included a direct link to both Shep and the semipalmated sandpiper sculpture? So something like this: ... that the replacement of a semipalmated sandpiper sculpture named Shep in New Brunswick led to a $19,000 investigation over code of conduct violations? If you prefer the original, there is nothing wrong with it and we can go with that, but I think providing the link to the type of bird for curious readers is fun. What do you think?

Sure, I just modified the hook. B3251 (talk) 03:37, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
