5x expanded by Graearms (talk). Self-nominated at 18:22, 29 August 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Expanded 5x four days ago, so new and long enough. Thoroughly cited, neutrally phrased, no copyvio or plagiarism detected. Hook is cited in-line and is niche but interesting enough to pass muster here. QPQ done. Side-note to Graearms: you may wish to alphabetize the bibliography. Good to go for DYK.

Reference errors

There are many reference formatting errors in this article. I have done my best to clean them up, but without access to the sources I cannot fix them all. See User:Trappist the monk/HarvErrors.js for a useful script to help identify these. Vanamonde (Talk) 15:25, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Graearms, I have fixed two more reference errors. I would also recommend using a script to highlight errors, Category:Harv and Sfn template errors lists Trappist's script and also User:Svick/HarvErrors.js. TSventon (talk) 07:39, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

TSventon I installed that script and used it too fix errors in the citations. I believe by now I fixed all of the errors on this page, and several more. Graearms (talk) 00:21, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
