This article is new enough and long enough. As far as I can see, all the hook facts are cited inline, and any of the hooks could be used, although I like ALT0 best. The image is appropriately licensed, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:50, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
