Article is new enough (translated articles are eligible) and long enough. ALT hooks are a little boring, the main one is misleading as dropping someone in the sea is not "burying". I think there is a maintenance template and the coordinate map seems to have some kind of problem. I can't speak French nor access most of the sources but I can verify some of the sources. Source #8 and #9 appear to be broken. Didn't see any copyvio or plagiarism, dropping a few sentences into Google yielded nothing untoward. QPQ exemption is in effect.

Hiya! I've fixed the link for source #8. Source #9 seems to be permanently dead. ALT3 added to fix inaccuracy in main hook. Orphan template removed. Coordinate map fixed. Thanks! 🐶 EpicPupper(he/him | talk)08:20, 4 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
