  • Article has been promoted to GA status recently and is long enough. Looks to meet guidelines on plagiarism, sourcing, and neutrality; I would like to see the reference's date styles harmonized, though. Hooks are short and sourced. ALT0 is the most interesting, followed by ALT1; ALT2 means very little to someone that isn't in the loop about sustainability ratings. Just needs a QPQ. SounderBruce 21:58, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
