So good to see this. Thanks for your hard work, @Mliu92:! Unfortunately I don't think it qualifies for DYK at the moment, per the DYK seven-day rule – i.e., needed to have been submitted within 7 days of creation (by 11 March 2022). If you are interested, we could try to get this article up to GA standard, then resubmit for DYK within 7 days of achieving GA status. Happy to help if you want.

- Thanks for the review – now that I understand the DYK rules, I'll keep working the article up to GA at some point. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 13:49, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
