Improved to Good Article status by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 16:42, 1 October 2019 (UTC).

Article was recently promoted to Good status. No concerning pings on Earwigs. QPQ has been completed. Hooks are neutral and short enough for DYK. Assuming good faith on the offline source. Personally think ALT0 is the strongest hook of the three. Morgan695 (talk) 01:36, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
