@Epicgenius: Any update on the QPQ? Ergo Sum 13:41, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
Ergo Sum, I hope to get to it by this weekend. I have another article that I want to nominate for DYK, so it would be better to do all the QPQ's at once. epicgenius (talk) 15:48, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
@Ergo Sum: I've done a QPQ. I also added "after nearly a half-century" to ALT0 + 1. epicgenius (talk) 00:27, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
