- This review is for ALT0, the best hook IMO:
| General: Article is new enough and long enough |
|---|
Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
- Other problems:
- One issue: the statement in the intro "It is considered the oldest surviving book in the world" is not supported by the references; only the Smithsonian Magazine says "one of the oldest surviving books." That is a significant difference. Please update this.
