Article has been recently improved to GA quality, is long enough, is definitely well-sourced and presentable. All four hooks provided are sourced properly and both interesting and short enough for the DYK section. Earwig check was good so tis is good to go, as QPQ has been completed as well. If I had to choose between the hooks I would lean ALT0 or ALT1, probably slightly more toward ALT0. Good job on this for sure. Soulbust (talk) 00:18, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the review Soulbust! For what it's worth to the promoter, I also lean towards ALT0. ThaesOfereode (talk) 03:58, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
