- Comment: I'm not set on the image being included, but I have added it as an option, for the reviewers and promoters to decide!
Created by Lajmmoore (talk). Self-nominated at 09:05, 27 September 2021 (UTC).
New (created 20 September); long enough (2672 words); within policy with inline cites. Earwig reports 3.8%, so copyright looks fine. Both hooks mostly look fine, but need some corrections: in the original, "is likely it was" -> "was likely"; and in ALT1 "fell out of fuel" should be clarified ('fell out of peat fuel' would be fine). Image looks OK but isn't great: up to the promoter to decide, if they don't have a better one that day! So @Lajmmoore: if you could tweak the hooks, I think this is ready to go. Thanks.
