Review. The article is new enough and long enough. The article is cited throughout with the hooks inline. Earwig copyvio doesn't like the long quote in the legacy section but the quote is properly attributed so no problem. QPQ is done. Alt0 is preferred. Desertarun (talk) 15:46, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like I pulled that accuracy tag too early.
