Overall: Great work! I'm currently in Turkey and I enjoyed reading and reviewing the article, and it looks like it has no obvious issues from what I can see. I'm partial to the second hook but open to either hook being used depending on the final decision of the closing reviewer. --Sky Harbor(talk)16:56, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
