QPQ: Done.

Overall: Interesting article that is well written and well sourced. I personally find ALT0 or ALT2 better than ALT1, although I think there is room to include the name Alfred Hickman in ALT0 if used, I have added it as a possible ALT3. Cavalryman (talk) 11:58, 9 September 2021 (UTC).[reply]
