QPQ: Done.

Overall: Nicely done, Flibirigit! Good to go with both ALTs, although my preference is for ALT0. I've copyedited it down to an ALT0a- it's hit or miss because though it's smaller, it also condenses stuff into one big sentence sans comma. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 02:26, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

• I dislike ALT0a since it disconnects "without comment" from the report. It is worse because it reads like his father is not commenting. Flibirigit (talk) 11:32, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
