• Comment: I want to ask that if/when this hook is approved, it be considered for October 31 to go with the Halloween set (Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Halloween set). Di (they-them) (talk) 18:30, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

• Article is new enough and long enough.
• QPQ done
• No copyright/clop problems observed
• Sources all look reasonable and in-line cited
• Images are all appropriately licensed but the suggested image is not very good technically so I don't advise we use it.
• All hooks verify, but ALT1 seems excessively wordy, so ALT0 and ALT2 approved. RoySmith (talk) 18:44, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
