Great expansion! Article is long enough to run. Earwig gives no copyright other than the names of events themselves so that's good. I like ALT0, which is confirmed by the source. ALT1 might be seen as too "negative" for a BLP by some, so I'd rather have ALT0 promoted. QPQ not needed. Styyx (talk) 08:57, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
