- Reviewing both...new enough and long enough. Two QPQs done, no copyvio issues, not stubs. At overview, look very good. Might take a little time...but will complete soon. Whispyhistory (talk) 15:39, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
Image ok. Hooks in article and followed by inline citation to source containing hook facts. Both hooks ok. Interesting. Tick to both articles. Thank you. Whispyhistory (talk) 04:31, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
