Comment I was unhappy with the prose, so I posted a request over at GOCE. --evrik ^(talk) 05:07, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
The article is well-sourced, long and new enough, and there does not seem to be copyvios. The hook is interesting and long enough, having a citation coming immediately after it in the text. QPQ is provided, we'd better wait for the GOCE. --Mhhossein ^talk 06:42, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Mhhossein: copyediting done. --evrik ^(talk) 03:45, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
  - good to go with the proposed hook. --Mhhossein ^talk 06:37, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
    - @Evrik and Mhhossein: a slight WP:EGG issue with the hook; I proposed ALT0a? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 22:35, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

I'm okay with Alt0a. --evrik ^(talk) 22:49, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

So am I. --Mhhossein ^talk 04:44, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
