Substantial article on its way to higher quality, on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. All hooks work, I like ALT1 best, but am told regularly that I have now idea what our readers find interesting. The image is licensed and impressive. Just waiting for qpq. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:03, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the review @Gerda Arendt and sorry for the delay. I have now done a QPQ. Epicgenius (talk) 15:22, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

thank you --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:39, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

I hope Gerda does not mind, I prefer ALT0. Bruxton (talk) 15:39, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

I have unpromoted, as we have a SOHA request for 26 July's image hook, and it is common practice to not fill the last slot's image or quirky hook. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:46, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
