  • Comment: Due to a busy week, I didn't nominate this article until now. I've missed the 7-day deadline but only by a few hours, so I figured I'd nominate anyway just in case you can make an exception! I love this topic and I think it would be a great addition to DYK! Thanks in advance for taking the time to read it

I know I am being a killjoy but promotion of ALT0 seems the best option. No objection to anyone starting a DYKtalk discussion about ALT2. Lightburst (talk) 01:16, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
