Improved to Good Article status by Normsupon (talk). Self-nominated at 22:05, 29 September 2021 (UTC).

Hi Normsupon, review follows: article promoted to GA on 29 September; article is well written and cited inline to reliable sources throughout; I didn't find any issue with overly close paraphrasing in a spotcheck on sources; hooks are interesting and mentioned in the article, I can verify ALT0 and ALT1 to the sources cited and happy to AGF on ALT2; nominator looks to be QPQ exempt. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 06:02, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
