5x expanded by Z1720 (talk). Self-nominated at 16:50, 22 May 2021 (UTC).
New enough and large enough expansion. QPQ present. Both sources for ALT0 check out (including the ProQuest source to which I have access). The French seems to check out in ALT1. No textual issues. Good to go for July 1. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:50, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
