Overall: 1) The use of symbols of flags is restricted in many countries, independent of the copyright status, and I do not now if that is the case here. 2) Many of the citations are not in English; I am accepting the text on good faith in those instances, but other editors with better skills should feel free to weigh in. 3) I've added a "by whom" tag that should be addressed." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7000:2101:aa00:f804:c954:1d4c:5d11 (talk)

• I have reworded the "by whom"-tagged sentence now, and added additional references to it. --Soman (talk) 10:25, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

• Thanks. That addresses my last comment above. As to the first two - I'm ok if the promotor thinks I got it right and is also ok. It's really based on refs I cannot read, to be fair. And I don't know that, without more, my firs comment is an issue. But seems to be a very good editor. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:ECDF:78AA:BB1B:9EDE (talk) 16:37, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
