- Comment:
  - Special occasion date request: February 8, 2022 (112nd anniversary of the formation of the Boy Scouts of America)
  - We rarely had audio file on the main page, so it is optional, and I trust the judgement of the prep builder on choosing it.

Hi Kavyansh.Singh, review follows: article created 17 January; article exceeds minimum length, is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing from a sample of the sources I checked; hook is interesting to me, mentioned in the article and checks out to the source cited; audio file is great and looks to be correctly licensed, for what it's worth I quite like to see them on the main page as a change from images; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 09:30, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the review, Dumelow. May I just confirm whether the special occasion date request for February 8, 2022 is approved or not. And if so, can you move it to special occasion holding area? Thanks again! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 14:52, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - Hi Kavyansh.Singh, yes the occasion seems appropriate. I have moved the template to the holding area - Dumelow (talk) 17:40, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thanks a lot! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 17:43, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
