ALT0 is a nice hooky hook. I'll AGF on the book source. Article is new enough, referenced well enough, and is free from any obvious copyright violations. The picture is free and the distortion pairs well with the hook. This should be good to go. ❯❯❯ Mccunicano ☕️ 03:03, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
