- Comment: The order of hooks represents the order I came up with them, not any preference. I would also accept further hook proposals; there is a lot to know.

Reviewing... ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 12:00, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
— GA new enough, long enough, well-sourced (no bare references and immediately followed by an inline citation to a reliable source), no copyvio (only shows a quote), neutral, all of the hooks are properly formatted, short enough, hooky enough, and QPQ has been done. I prefer the ALT2 and thanks for improving the article, it was a nostalgic read. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 12:28, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
