QPQ: - Not done
Overall: Recent GA, and likewise reads great, no copy vio. All the hooks are nicely sourced. I have a strong preference of ALT3 followed by ALT0. AlT2 rather feels a bit dull, and ALT1 reads a bit too detailed/complicated comparing with the other two. Awaiting QPQ. X (talk) 06:17, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

@Xoak: Thanks for the prompt review, QPQ now done. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 09:32, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Approved (strong preference of ALT3 followed by ALT0).
