QPQ: Done.

Overall:

In the hook, it is not a copyright issue, it is a trademark issue. I changed it according to what the article says as well. The article was recently created and improved to GA status, it is well-sourced and the information matches that of the sources; it is neutral and it doesn't have copyright issues. ALT0 is interesting enough and I prefer it over ALT1. No picture to review and the QPQ was completed. It was nice to read this article. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 04:18, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
