Overall: This one caught my eye, as I am also a participant of WikiProject Appalachia! Great work on this article! Personally, I like ALT3. Also, I think you should consider adding an image. Earwig highlighted a few phrases, but they appear to be just common phrases and quotes. Good to go!  Kentuckian |💬   03:13, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
