Improved to Good Article status by MoreExtra (talk). Self-nominated at 17:15, 15 November 2019 (UTC).
Good work! New enough (as a recent Good Article), long enough, QPQ not needed, within policy, Earwig finds no copyvios. Hook facts check out (ALT1 on AGF), but each needs a wikilink to the main article in boldface. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Antony-22 (talk • contribs) 23:17, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
Original hook and
ALT1, with the former being preferred. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 22:41, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
