Hi Aoidh, review follows: article created 19 August and exceeds minimum length; I made a small number of edits to to the prose to improve readability, please review and change if I made any errors; sources look OK for the subject matter; article is cited inline throughout; I didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing from the sources; hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; image is used in the article and freely licensed; A QPQ has been carried out. Looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 06:37, 20 August 2022 (UTC)- @Aoidh: Some punchier hooks :)
