No QPQ required. No image. Article promoted to GA today (March 19). Hook is interesting, article is long enough, article is NPOV. Earwig returns 14.5% on copyvio (violation unlikely). The only potential issue is the source. I need a little additional clarity to ensure that Lwati is not a predatory journal. I'm unable to find it indexed in any of the normal places (i.e. EBSCO, etc.), it charges a mandatory publication fee, and the specific article in question is 14 years old but has only been cited in one other source (an unpublished paper). Vanderwaalforces - could you potentially either clarify the status of Lwati or provide an alternate source for the hook? Other than that, this should be good to go.

Nevermind, changing this to approved. On further review, Old Dominion University classifies AJO as a "good" OA publisher [1]. So this should be clear. Good work / good article, Vanderwaalforces! Chetsford (talk) 02:06, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

@Chetsford: It is actually a good journal, thank you! Vanderwaalforces (talk) 04:53, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
