• Article passed GAR in the last seven days and meets length requirements. Article is article is well-sourced, neutral, and copyvio-free; only pings on Earwigs are for some long proper titles. QPQ has been completed. Hooks are interesting, cited, and short enough for DYK; AGF on offline sources. I think ALT0 and ALT1 are the strongest hooks. Morgan695 (talk) 17:16, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
