New enough, long enough, well-sourced and neutrally written, and no copyright violations detected. QPQ done. Both hooks are appropriately cited in the article; I personally prefer the first one as it's pretty funny. However, I think a bracketed word in a quote usually indicates the minor substitution of a single word, while ellipses are generally used to indicate an omitted phrase. What do you think of breaking up the quote like this?

@DanCherek: Thanks for the review! Yeah, I'm fine with breaking up the quote like in ALT0a. —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:10, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
