@Elie plus: Thanks for the review. I will do a QPQ shortly. I prefer to use {{rp}} here, rather than general citations with footnotes, because they are easier to use in an article of this length compared to shortened footnotes. Per WP:CITEVAR the RP template should be fine. epicgenius (talk) 13:29, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't object to the use of {{rp}}. I think your article will be ready once you review other submissions. PS: it was a nice read. ~ Elias Z. (talkallam) 13:39, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Elie plus: Thanks. I appreciate it. I have done a QPQ now. epicgenius (talk) 14:36, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
