Both article are 5x expansions. Both are well sourced, with citations throughout, and neutrally written. The hook facts are all interesting enough though I AGF for the offline source in ALT4. I don't personally have any preference between them. QPQs are done. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:58, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
