Improved to Good Article status by Krakkos (talk). Self-nominated at 09:47, 20 March 2021 (UTC).
@Krakkos: The tag on the article needs to be resolved in order for this nomination to proceed. In other regards, this is a newly promoted GA and meets the newness and length criteria. The image is appropriately licensed, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:41, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, Cwmhiraeth. I have expanded the lead and removed the now redundant template. I hope this resolves the issue. Krakkos (talk) 07:13, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
Thank you. This nomination is good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:23, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- Cwmhiraeth Krakkos I'm not sure about the hook. It seems to me that it should state who considers it to be the best work on the topic. SL93 (talk) 23:46, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
