New reviewer needed to check ALT1 hook. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:55, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
Meets newness and length requirements, no close paraphrasing or copyvio. ALT1 is fun and interesting, I approve. Nice little article, I gave it a sprucing, adding some basic biographical information citing references that may prove very fruitful for further expansion.
