Improved to Good Article status by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 14:07, 1 September 2022 (UTC).

• Article is neutral, meets the required length, and is sufficiently referenced. Promoted to GA on August 29, within seven days of this nomination. Hooks are all incredibly interesting, succinct, and reliably sourced; ALT5 is definitely my favourite, but I'd be happy to see any hit the front page. AGF on offline sources. QPQ looks good. This is good to go! – Rhain ☔ 02:11, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
