Once the QPQ is done, this seems like a good hook. The article qualifies, is long enough, is fully sourced, seems in good shape, and has no evidence of copyvio. The hook is interesting and is cited in the article. The image is also correctly licensed (as your own work). Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 03:07, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
