Interesting little article. New enough, long enough, well written and referenced. Image is relevant, used in the article, and properly licensed (added "(pictured)" to the hooks). ALT0 is interesting, but Owain may be somewhat unknown outside Britain (or, indeed, within it), so let's go with ALT2. QPQ done, so this is good to go. Constantine ✍ 16:37, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
