Gonna be honest, this is gonna take a lot to pass GA, but I think it can. I've started to leave a lot of edits below. benǝʇᴉɯ 20:07, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Final comments[edit]

Sincerest apologies that it took nearly two weeks for me to complete this review, I have been really swamped with real-life responsibilities! I hope you get the time to complete making the edits, but like I mentioned above, I think additional images and more sources would be necessary for it to pass as a GA, since it is relatively bare-bones right now. benǝʇᴉɯ 20:48, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Failing due to inactivity, but feel free to renominate! benǝʇᴉɯ 00:52, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
