HMCS Caraquet with SW1C on top of her mast.

• Will review this in a few hours if no one beats me to it. Cessaune [talk] 15:48, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Alright. This is my first time doing this, so let's see how it goes...

New: Y Article created on the 22nd.

Long enough: Y The prose section is long enough.

Cited hook: Y The hooks are all interesting, particularly the main one and ALT2. The source for those two (proc) seems reliable enough when looking at the sources that the source itself cites.

Image: Y Image is used in article, is freely licensed, and maintains legibility at 100px.

Within policy: Y Avoids close paraphrasing, no copyright violations, maintains neutrality, etc.

Needs a QPQ

I think all the hooks are good. DYk ready to main, ALT1, ALT2, AGF to ALT3, however, waiting on QPQ, so . Cessaune [talk] 21:31, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
