Comment: First five noms, QPQ not required

Created by Nyanardsan (talk). Self-nominated at 05:18, 6 July 2021 (UTC).[reply]

I shall review this. There are some obvious issues that will need to be addressed. Please add categories to the article so that the maintenance tag can be removed. Please fix the reference error for what is currently reference # 5. English is obviously not your first language and you need to find somebody who can copyedit the article for grammar and language. For example, if I take the Indonesian version of this article and put it through Google Translate, I get a much better understanding of what was going on. So there is quite a bit of work required for somebody. The article is new, long enough, neutral. QPQ not required. Earwig is clean. I've duplicated the reference that confirms the hook fact and placed it in the right spot. I've put this nomination onto my watchlist so once you've attended to these issues, please comment here.

- Fixed the ref and cat, not yet for the CE. I'll ask my friend off wiki. Please wait for a while, thanks for reviewing my nomination Nyanardsan (talk) 04:59, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- All fixed, please take a look. Nyanardsan (talk) 05:57, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good to go. Schwede 66 18:13, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nyanardsan, I'm promoting this, but the hook should either say "returned ... to" or "gave back ... to", but not "returned ... back to". I've chosen the first option, but am happy to change it to the second if you'd prefer that one. Please let me know! MeegsC (talk) 11:42, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MeegsC: I prefer "returned...to", because using "gave back" seems would alter the hook sentences significantly. Thanks for promoting it! Nyanardsan (talk) 11:53, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
