  • Thank you for the review! I believe I've done everything you've written below, with the exception of the one point I responded to. I hope you keep well, and look forward to the rest of your review. Please take as much time as you need. I wasn't expecting anyone to review it this soon, so there really is no rush. ;) Homeostasis07 (talk/contributions) 02:37, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Final comments and verdict[edit]

  • Homeostasis07 ✓ Pass now, great to have helped promote another GA during the backlog drive and I re-added "among others" to the lead because you must have accidentally removed that when getting rid of the previous collab info. --K. Peake 06:42, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
