Article new enough (July 15), long enough (2100 B). Well-sourced (though I find the source "Certified Proud" mildly questionable, but that statement has another source anyway). Verified ALT0 in the source Walshe 2005, assuming good faith on ALT1. Both hooks interesting. Approving both hooks. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 00:38, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
