Reviewing... Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 01:33, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: Looks like everything's in order! The hook is interesting, it's cited, the article is new enough and long enough, claims in the article have citations, and the sources warrant the information. Earqig detected 13% resemblance to the History News Network source, but I think that's because you both it and the Wikipedia page quote the same passage from Banks's paper, or maybe because the southern heritage organizations both mention have long names. And it looks like you've already reviewed another nomination. Congrats, and you're good to go! Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 01:53, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
