- Article is new enough, moved on the date. It is long enough. It is fully referenced and neutral enough. Correct person, EmphasisMine, credited.
Hooks botb appear in article with reference. Hooks are short enough. I like alt1 better as it is more compact and more surprising to hear. No image. QPQ done. Copyviocheck cannot find a problem. Good to go. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:46, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
