  • GA icon received within 7 days of nomination. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. The first hook is very hooky; I have struck the second hook as being much less interesting. ALT0 hook ref verified and cited inline. QPQ done. ALT0 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 19:26, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
