Article talk page must be changed from Stub to Start. Please give the lead image some alt text. Should this caption be shortened to "Russian Bank"? The length, date and referencing are good. Neutrality is fine. The image is public domain, used in the article. QPQ is satisfied. I wonder why two alternate names are in the hook but not Wrangle and Double Solitaire. Actually, the alternate names seem to me to be unneeded. The hook is supported by online article references. Binksternet (talk) 01:32, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

- @Binksternet: many thanks for your review. I have changed the talk page to start, and added the alt text in the lead image. I have clarified that "Wrangle" is a historical name, whereas the others are all current in English. "Double Solitaire" is often used for Double Klondike, which is a simpler version - I have added a disambiguation header on that article.[1] On the alternate names in the hook, I don't feel strongly, but I think it will be more interesting to a wider audience with all three names, because different groups of players know it with different names and often will not recognize the other names.
