@Al Ameer son: good to go. Another two excellent articles. QPQ done (I understand one QPQ is enough for a single hook, but others will correct me if I am wrong), articles are both very well referenced, long enough, recent enough (moved to main space 7 April and 9 April respectively). I took the liberty of adding the adjective "messianic rebel" before the first subject's name in the hook, as it makes it more compelling. Onceinawhile (talk) 01:47, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Once ;) Great tweak of the hook. The second QPQ is on the way. I’ll ping you tomorrow most likely. Al Ameer (talk) 03:17, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Oncenawhile: Second QPQ done. Al Ameer (talk) 02:09, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
