Hi Hawkeye7, article created 18 July and is well written; article is cited inline throughout to reliable sources; article exceeds minimum length; I didn't spot any overly-close paraphrasing from the online source, AGF on the offline; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to the source cited; a QPQ has been carried out; image is excellent, in the article and, suprisingly (but OTRS verified) freely licensed. Good to go - Dumelow (talk) 05:07, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
