QPQ:
Overall: I think ALT0 is the best, so reviewing for that. Several elements assumed to have been covered during the GAN, and the rest all check out. Image is fine but not particularly compelling, so not sure that promoter will choose to use it. Once QPQ is completed, this will be good to go. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 00:57, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
