I'll do the review. An anonymous username, not my real name (talk) 00:14, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's close, but there are a couple things that I think should be changed.

The lead of an article should rarely/never have citations because the information should be elsewhere in the article. If it already is, remove the citations. If it isn't, move the information to the body.
There are a few topics and people with WP articles which could be linked but aren't.

All in all, good work. There's not much more that could be added, and it probably could be passed as it is, but I would still recommend changing the things I mentioned. An anonymous username, not my real name (talk) 00:31, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, looks like you did everything. Passing it now. An anonymous username, not my real name (talk) 19:58, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
