Hi Hawkeye7, what an excellent article! Promoted GA on 16 May; well written, cited inline throughout; I don't have access to the offline sources but I did a spotcheck on some of those available to me and found no issues with overly close paraphrasing; hook is interesting enough for me and supported by a great photo (though some may consider it not suitable at small scale, I like it); source used in article for hook is offline but the IWM photo listing here confirms the fact; image is appropriately and freely licensed; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 09:41, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
