Overall: Knowing your prior work, I expected no less than an excellent article. I spot-checked several sources and could not find any obvious faults. However, I noticed that the GQ source does not actually mention Israel (for ALT2). Is there possibly a source that includes this verbatim? IceWelder [✉] 19:34, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciate the kind words, IceWelder. Good point on the mention of Israel; while it's technically not inaccurate, the source specifically mentions the West Bank, so I've rephrased the article and hook. Let me know if there's anything else. – Rhain ☔ 23:47, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work, this will do. IceWelder [✉] 06:15, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
