  • Comment: Removed possible conflict of interest tag as Maymooncuk has stated on their talk page that they have no COI - feel free to put it back if you have any evidence to the contrary (by the way the Turkish article is also awaiting approval I think so the next reviewer may like to check whether any positive or negative comments have been added there) Chidgk1 (talk) 09:07, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
