- @Eddie891: Review in progress. Nice work. Its a 5x expansion and the figures check out. Its a B (heading for GA) and it has lots of good refs and a free image thanks to Fuzheado (I added him for a surprise credit). Its neutral. I ran Earwig's tool and it found some cut and pastes which may have come from previous authors or from other sites taking stuff from Wiki. Can this be resolved?

- I'm happy to tick main hook as fine and the others as AGF - as I can see the info in other refs that I can access (why the ALA have prizewinners as members only info is ???). I have boldly reduced the size of alt1 hope thats OK. Victuallers (talk) 11:09, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks, Victuallers! Your changes look fine to me. I suspect what Earwig's has flagged is reverse copyvio, but I have gone ahead and rephrased the two main things it seems to have flagged. Look better? Eddie891 Talk Work 13:41, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
