Should be good to go. I did some small copyedit/wikilink additions, and added a couple of third-party sources just to flesh out sourcing a tad but nominator did the work here in ensuring the article was new and long enough, and properly sourced and presentable. The hook is very interesting and properly sourced as well. Earwig shows low % for copyvio potential, and the QPQ has been completed. Soulbust (talk) 04:50, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you, the additions definitely improve the article. Annwfwn (talk) 13:01, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
