  • Hi Hawkeye7, review follows: article promoted to GA on 14 October; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up any overly close paraphrasing from a spot check on sources I have access too (the hook is somewhat close to the source but it's a pseudo-quotation so I think important to preserve the wording); hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; image is fine and appropriately licensed; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 06:56, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
