5x expanded by Bloom6132 (talk). Self-nominated at 23:59, 31 May 2022 (UTC).[reply]
This is an interesting, well written article. I confirm it was expanded five-fold (actually 5.4) and nominated timely. Both hooks are interesting and sourced; either one would be fine; slight preference for ALT1. No copyvios are seen. However, I can't yet approve it because QPQ is needed. Bloom, please ping me when you have done a QPQ and reported it here. -- MelanieN (talk) 05:19, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
D'oh! I just missed it. Sorry. QPQ was done. -- MelanieN (talk) 05:24, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
