QPQ: Done. |
Overall: I see no problems with this. It is new enough, there are no major problems with the article's grammar or spelling, and the second hook is interesting. I pick Alt1 as the one that should go up. y— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jon698 (talk • contribs) 07:48, May 20, 2022 (UTC)
- Quick note to hook promoters: Griffin is running in the primary election set for May 24. So, most likely it will have passed before you are promoting this. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:14, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
