5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 18:47, 11 December 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Looks good to me: recently expanded 14x, long enough, copiously cited, no copyright or neutrality concerns, QPQ completed, etc. I think I prefer ALT3, which seems most interesting. Great work, as always. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 06:52, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
