Hi An anonymous username, not my real name, review follows: article promoted to GA on 2 March; exceeds minimum length and is well written; not an expert in this area but sources look to be reliable; a random check on some of the sources found no overly close paraphrasing; I don't think you can use ALT0, adjusting a price from 1956 for inflation doesn't mean that is what the pelt is worth today; ALT1 and ALT2 are mentioned in the article and check out to the sources cited; nominator is QPQ exempt - Dumelow (talk) 08:38, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
