Moved to mainspace by Kusma (talk). Self-nominated at 10:04, 1 February 2022 (UTC).
Hi Kusma, review follows: article moved to mainspace on 30 January; article is well written and cited inline throughout (with the exception of "Content", which is implicitly cited to the work itself); sources used appear reliable; I didn't find any overly close paraphrasing from sources I checked; hooks are mentioned in the article and check out to the sources cited; I find the wheelbarrow hook the most interesting; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 15:48, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
