- Awaiting QPQ. Its interesting and the image is essential. It has lots of refs and the whole thing is long enough (its a GA). Its neutral balancing the cool engineering with the anger of critics. hook is long enough and its hooky. Earwig identifies a lot (47%) of copied text but these are nearly all short and credited quotations. I would have chosen one of these as the basis of a hook e.g. a jewel out of reach of nearly everyone, but there is not shortage of hook material here. Ping me when the QPQ is done.

- @Victuallers: Please note that since I have less than 5 credits (see here), I am exempt from QPQ (see rule 5). Heythereimaguy (talk) 16:12, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
Thanks @Heythereimaguy:, I always thought it was the main author. VERY pleased newbies are exempt even if "only" nomming. Well done. Victuallers (talk) 20:57, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
Open to the public?
editIt would be interesting to add to the article whether the pool is open to the public. 2A02:A45F:BF57:1:98D3:8F3A:93E5:65C8 (talk) 13:06, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
