Hi Gog the Mild, review follows: article created 7 October; article exceeds minimum length and is well written; I checked the Google previews of some sources and found no issues with overly close paraphrasing; hook is extremely interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to the Google preview of Bagnall; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 18:06, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
