QPQ: Done.

Overall: Recently promoted GA. Overall article sourcing, neutrality, and plagiarism is assumed to have been covered during the GAN. Hooks are both sourced and otherwise compliant, but I'd say ALT0 fails on interestingness, so I'd suggest ALT1. Picture is acceptable but rather low-quality (and the beating photo is the same way), so schedulers might choose not to use it. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 06:42, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
