The article was moved to main space 1-20-24 and so qualifies for DYK. The QPQ is done and the the article is sourced with the proper inline citations. I find ALT0 moderately interesting and cited in the article. Earwig does not alert to violations and a spot check shows that CLOP is not an issue. Not a DYK issue, but some areas suffer from WP:OVERCITE also consider the citations in the lead may not be needed per WP:LEADCITE (the material is already cited in the body - I checked). The image is not offered here but the infobox image is free. Bruxton (talk) 18:21, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
