Article is new enough and meets adequate quality and notability standards, though due to the line "stopped on the side of the freeway to take selfies in front of the letters" being a pretty lengthy word-for-word phrase from the source, I would recommend that it be copyedited or placed in quotation marks. Both hook and ALT1 work, no QPQ needed. Nice work on the article, please ping when complete and I'll go through with passing it. B3251 (talk) 19:54, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @B3251: I've rewritten it to be "stopped on the freeway for selfies". Let me know if that's good enough. reppop^talk 20:02, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - Done. Thanks, B3251 (talk) 20:03, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
