Overall: Article was expanded from 225B to 2681B ( x11 expansion) on November 26. Two issues before I can pass this:

Per WP:DYKCRIT 3b: "Each fact in the hook must be supported in the article by at least one inline citation to a reliable source, appearing no later than the end of the sentence(s) offering that fact." There are two sentences in the article that support the various facts of the hook, but the first one ("One afternoon in late April...") has no inline citation at the end of its sentence.
The {{main}} template is inappropriately used at the end of the "History" section. Per Template:Main, this template should only be used after a section heading and in a section that is a summary of the main article it's linking to, which is not how the template is currently used in the article. I think the template can be removed without losing anything of value to the readers; perhaps wikilink Vermont Public Radio when it first appears in the last paragraph instead.

@Bennv123: Latter fixed; I disagree with the former (the second sentence had the cite invoke), but I added one for now. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:39, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
