  • I think I misunderstood what to enter for the author. Andrewa created the redirect and then I converted it into an article. TipsyElephant (talk) 12:25, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: None required.
Overall: The source stated at both the dyk and the article needs a specific login to a school/institution. This is my third review, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. TheNuggeteer (talk) 03:32, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
