Moved to mainspace by LklAndy (talk). Nominated by Graeme Bartlett (talk) at 03:19, 16 November 2021 (UTC).
Article was moved to mainspace within the seven days, and is clearly long enough and well referenced. Earwig didn't turn up plagiarism issues. The hook is referenced and is short and interesting enough (ALT1 though might be a bit harder for layman to understand). I don't see any major issues with the article, and have made some minor changes and corrections, though some of the images could be placed better. Namely, images should not "sandwich" article text. Some of the images may need to be re-arranged, scaled-down, or placed into galleries to not take up too much space next to the text. Also, I think it's better to align the images to the right side of the screen so as to minimise disruptions to reading the text. Shuipzv3 (talk) 14:18, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
