New enough, long enough, very well cited, hooks cited inline, QPQ complete. The pictures are fantastic, and I think a possible alternate is the second image in the article, with appropriate cropping, as the skyline is more striking. Suggestion: finding this article is surprisingly difficult - try it. I think some more hatnotes are needed on other pages.Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:37, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
