This is good to go. New enough (moved to mainspace on June 20); long enough; well-sourced; copy-vio free (Earwig shows up with unlikely copyvio and any mildly high %s are because of direct quotes); article is presentable; hook is properly sourced and interesting; QPQ is complete. I prefer ALT0 and the image pairs well nicely (image is also all good because it is now public domain). Soulbust (talk) 18:32, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
