article is new enough. My check (using User:Shubinator/DYKcheck) shows it to be 1427 characters (237 words) "readable prose size", so not quite the 1,500 character requirement. But I think it could easily be expanded with another sentence or two.

passes an Earwig's Copyvio Detector test

hook is interesting & I like the use of the image.

Nice gallery & I will happily approve once the prose size requirement is met. = paul2520 (talk) 15:23, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi paul2520, I don't think the script is counting the Major development section because it is in a bullet points. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 15:30, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

CAPTAIN MEDUSA according to Wikipedia:Did you know/Article length, "prose" excludes lists. Could the section be adapted to not use the bullets? = paul2520 (talk) 15:34, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

paul2520, I have converted it to prose. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 15:38, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. Thanks, CAPTAIN MEDUSA! = paul2520 (talk) 15:48, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
