Article is new enough and long enough.
QPQ done
No copyright/clop problems observed
Sources all look reasonable and in-line cited
Images are all appropriately licensed but the suggested image is not very good technically so I don't advise we use it.
All hooks verify, but ALT1 seems excessively wordy, so ALT0 and ALT2 approved. RoySmith (talk) 18:44, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
