"Needs more links" template flag removal?

I did a cursory review of this article, and didn't find many opportunities for adding more wikilinks. Looks like some other newbies already got to it, adding links the past few days. When can this flag be removed? PhotogenicScientist (talk) 19:53, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It sure looks well-linked at this time. Removal of the flag is entirely discretionary, I'd say it's fine to remove it now. I'll probably have a look through and see if there's further improvements to be had. I'm also going to manually archive some of the ancient stuff above that hasn't auto-archived. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 20:22, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
