5x expanded by Bloom6132 (talk). Self-nominated at 02:50, 23 May 2021 (UTC).
Always love to see a BOT flag, it's almost guarunteed a spot on WP:DYKSTATS. Reminds I was planning on doing Montserrat's expansion (I assume you have no objection to me nominating that one @Bloom6132:?) Nevertheless, here's the review: Date and expansion good. All 3 hooks look good though my preference is for ALT2. QPQ is done and no close paraphrasing. Picture licence is fine. However, just one tiny thing holding it up and that's the merge tag on it but looking at the discussion, it seems to me to be a clear SNOW close in favour of merging. Once that's removed it can be promoted (or would you like me to do it as a NAC?). Please ping me with your response. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 12:56, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
- @The C of E: Thanks for the review! Feel free to do an NAC – this newly-expanded article covers pretty much everything in List of Cayman Islands flags (other than the old Red Ensign design, which seemed minor enough for me to leave out). —Bloom6132 (talk) 20:19, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
Good to go then. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 20:27, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
Note to promoter – please use as picture hook for July 6 (UTC) if July 5 picture slot is taken by Coat of arms of the British Virgin Islands.—Bloom6132 (talk) 00:55, 23 June 2021 (UTC)- Per WT:DYK, this should be promoted as a regular hook on July 5 (there is a slot being saved for it in Prep 3); Coat of arms of the British Virgin Islands is being given the July 5 picture slot. I have struck the previous request. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:37, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
