  • New enough, long enough, not stub, well written. QPQ provided. Image free and clear and goes with proposed hook. All hooks are in the article and each is followed by an inline citation to a reference containing the hook fact. ALT2 is a bit too long. Random check of references done. This is a good resource you have produced. I prefer the proposed hook with image. Thank you. Whispyhistory (talk) 16:23, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
