- @Mr Serjeant Buzfuz: As per a recent rule change, a QPQ should be provided at the time of the nomination, rather than up to a week afterwards. Please provide a QPQ as soon as possible, as the nomination may be closed without warning if one isn't provided. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:27, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
A QPQ was supplied within four hours of the above notice and is present. The article is a new enough expansion. The hook facts check out, with a strong preference toward ALT0 for a promoter. Beautiful pieces. No textual issues—quote is attributed, and other common phrases are banal. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:52, 30 August 2024 (UTC)- On reflection, I changed the image caption slightly, from "Small bowl" to "Oval bowl". There is nothing in the image to give a scale, so best not to comment on size. "Oval" acts as a descriptor for visually impaired readers. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 01:06, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
