Hi Cavalryman review follows: article created 9 September and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to what appear to be reliable (offline) sources; I am unable to check for overly close paraphrasing form the sources but happy to AGF on this; hook is interesting, mentioned it article and cited inline, AGF on sourcing; image is appropriate, in the article and freely and properly licensed; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks good to me, no real preference on the hook wording - Dumelow (talk) 14:01, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dumelow, many thanks. Kind regards, Cavalryman (talk) 20:50, 10 September 2021 (UTC).[reply]
