Long enough and 5x expanded today, no copyvio issues detected, with solid hook sourced in article. Image is licensed under CC and used in article. QPQ is complete too, looks good to me. -- SamCordes^talk 06:06, 18 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

I concur, but wouldn't it be interesting as well to have a DYK about the "boatloads of rubies"? (SamCordes and Hybernator)--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 18:16, 18 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Farang Rak Tham I'd be open to that, however, maybe I'm just overlooking it, but I wasn't able to find/verify its Hmannan source in the article. -- SamCordes^talk 00:39, 19 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Farang Rak Tham, thanks for the suggestion. It's certainly less dry than my hook. SamCordes, sorry, I've just added the reference for Hmannan. What do you think about ALT1? Hybernator (talk) 02:37, 20 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

for ALT1 Hybernator No worries, thanks for adding the source. Looks like it's offline but accepting in good faith. I'm striking the initial hook to avoid confusion. Thanks! -- SamCordes^talk 17:49, 20 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
