Dear User:Dumelow, the article has just been recently expanded, is long enough, and is within policy; in addition the hook is interesting and is fewer than two-hundred characters. There is currently no image to review for this hook. You have fulfilled requirements with respect to QPQ. I hope this helps. With regards, Anupam^Talk 20:46, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
