This substantial article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. No QPQ is needed on this occasion. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:57, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, and tagged the quoted term "space weather" in the article as needing some kind of citation. Yoninah (talk) 11:16, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, term wiki-linked, one primary cite provided, now checking for a secondary one. SeoR (talk) 12:53, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
- I hope the citation for this point is now sufficient; that will still leave the question of which hook to consider further, or whether further proposals are needed. Thanks, SeoR (talk) 16:33, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, everything's fine now. I took space weather out of quotes and added a link in the hook because we have an article on it. Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. Yoninah (talk) 17:54, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
