Despite the fact that you're my competition in the Wikicup (I don't know how you do this stuff so fast, please show me your ways), I'm reviewing this anyways. Article expanded today, long enough, image is free, QPQ completed, prefer ALT1 as it could appeal to the largest audience of the three, but have one change suggestion for it; it says that the wall was removed to put the carpet in, but my tiny, tiny brain assumed it was removed permanently. Maybe put the word "temporarily" right after the "had to be" part? P anini ^🥪 21:17, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Panini!: Thanks for the review (and yeah, it's coincidental that we're competing, it's a really complex winning formula :D). I've changed ALT1 slightly to clarify that it was temporarily. However, I guess it could also work without "temporarily" for extra interest, though it might be misleading as you said. Epicgenius (talk) 22:13, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to go, then. P anini ^🥪 22:22, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
