These are all variations on the theme. If we could get a picture slot, my preference is for ALT1, if we can’t, I’d go with ALT3. Happy to offer some new hooks from scratch if you’d prefer. LMK.

Pulled from the queue because of citation needed and original research tags. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:03, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

- I have edited it further and improved 90+ citations but that’s a hard pass from me on going another round on this. I have to do surgery on my dishwasher. Thank you for the opportunity but I withdraw the nomination. Please remove it from the queue. jengod (talk) 00:39, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
