- Comment: Note to reviewers: This article was passed to Good Article status on 7 July 2022; however, I was not able to nominate this article for DYK in the time since. Per my discussion on the DYK talk page, administrators may be inclusive of this nomination as it is only three days past the seven-day timeframe. As always, I encourage alternative hook suggestions. -- West Virginian (talk) 01:15, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
