New enough and long enough. @Cbl62: QPQ pending. Also copyedited ALT1. Two paragraphs need inline citation endings. Both hooks are quite interesting: AGF to Bancroft reference, newspaper clipping checks out. I see no other issues, but the citations and QPQ need addressing.

@Sammi Brie: Thank you for the review. The issues raised have now been remedied. Cbl62 (talk) 06:05, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Cbl62:

Looks good. Suggestion from me: you might want to learn how to use {{sfn}} if you will have a lot of articles that use many citations to the same few sources. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:56, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
