Article is new enough, long enough, adequately sourced, and Earwig comes up empty. I like the hook, the picture – if it goes through – could perhaps use a clarifying (left), although Aust is obviously in the foreground, so not necessarily a hard requirement for me.Striking, just noticed the comment. Per the provided source, I have corrected the spelling of "intensly" to "intensely" both here and in the article – The C of E, hope you don't mind. AngryHarpytalk 09:07, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- No, I don't mind. I was copying the quote from the source. It might have been misspelt there but I'm fine with it being corrected @AngryHarpy:. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 10:13, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
