Overall:

Article improved to GA status on the 8th, 6 days before the nomination, just under the wire but still soon enough. QPQ satisfied. Article is well written and well cited. Random spot checks doesn't find anything, same with Earwig. Passages are reliably cited, though it was not easy getting a hold of the sources. I made one minor modification to the first hook, please review when able. No other issues noted, passing both hooks. 🏵️Etrius ( Us) 23:40, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
