Well done. Free illustration, clear and used in the article. QPQ done. Article has correct inline citations and the prose is great. The article is neutral and plagiarism free. I would like to see if you can come up with a better hook. This one is lengthy and not as clear as it could be.

@Doug Coldwell: ALT1 Thanks for the speedy extra hook. I like it. If a promoter likes the other one more they can choose it. Bruxton (talk) 22:23, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

- Comment to Promoter - Could this be placed in the #1 slot with the image. I believe the Banjo signals would attract a lot of viewers and cause over 5000 views. Thanks.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:11, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
