- Comment: The nom may technically be a day or two late but the page is being expanded and so there's the 5x test too. The subject seems quite interesting so it may be worth giving the benefit of any doubt.

The dash between 'hitch' and 'hiking' can be removed to avoid an unnecessary redirect. The source here is not present in the article and so should be added there. The article just about meets the 1500 character limit but could do with a longer lead and needs additional citations. Other than that, I'm willing to accept this under the 'expanded fivefold' criteria. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 22:09, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Krisgabwoosh: Thanks for the review. I have done most of the things you wanted and will continue to improve the article. Ok? Andrew🐉(talk) 00:49, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
- Great! I'm hopeful that it'll turn out much more comprehensive once it's done. For now, I still need those two uncited claims to be have an accompanying source before I can approve this hook. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 00:53, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Krisgabwoosh: I wasn't sure which two claims you meant so have added citations where they seemed needed. If there are some more still needed, please mark them with {{citation needed}} or the like. Thanks. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:43, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
You got them! Just keep in mind that any sentences that end without a citation will generally be considered uncited. Anyway, this hook seems good to go. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 16:12, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
