I find ALT0 more interesting that ALT1, but both should be good. QPQ done, article is well sourced, hooks are in the article, article was 5x expanded over the course of 10 days. Copyvio is down, but I assume there's no problem. Good to go. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ♥) 13:53, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
