Improved to Good Article status by Neopeius (talk). Self-nominated at 14:35, 6 September 2021 (UTC).
@Neopeius: The new enough GA has no textual issues and a very interesting, verifiable, in-article reference. But you have six DYKs, so it is time to supply a QPQ for this page. Also bolded the article in the hook for you. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 23:07, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
Hello! I should have a few DYKs to my credit in addition to the 5 free ones... --Neopeius (talk) 00:14, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

That QPQ will count; it hasn't been used for any other nomination, so we're good. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:32, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
