Reviewer: Kimikel (talk · contribs) 13:44, 5 July 2024 (UTC) Hello! I will be taking this one on as part of the July GA backlog drive. Please expect a review in the coming days.

VERDICT: This is a quality article that needs a few issues resolved before GA status. Please consider implementing the below suggestions. To allow time for said changes, I am putting this article on a 7 day hold. Additionally, a second opinion from an experienced reviewer will be needed before a final verdict can be passed. This is easily the most complex article I have reviewed, so I personally welcome a second opinion on the matter. Thank you for your work. Kimikel (talk) 02:55, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
