• Hi 97198, review follows: 5x expansion confirmed on 11 July; article is well written and cited inline to reliable sources; I didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing from the sources; hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to the NYT source; a QPQ review has been carried out. My only note on this one is that two of the awards listed aren't cited - Dumelow (talk) 12:28, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

• @Dumelow: Thanks. In fact all of the awards are cited to the same source; I just included the reference in the last line of the list to avoid repetition. 97198 (talk) 12:31, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi 97198. So there are. For some reason I couldn't find them in there when I looked first time! - Dumelow (talk) 12:36, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
