Overall: All requirements met. Earwig doesn't pick up anything of concern (just quotations). Hooks are good and each is cited by a source (ALT1 checks out, AGF on the offline sources for ALT0 and ALT2). The image has no licensing problems (uploaded as author's own work), is used in the article, and is clear at 100px. QPQ done. Good to go! P.S. My preference would be for ALT1 as I find this the most interesting hook but happy to leave it up to the promotor. Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 01:24, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Woops, just noted that there is a link for ALT0, apologies. That source also checks out. It's just ALT2 that is on an AGF basis. Chocmilk03 (talk) 02:07, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
