16px Promoted to GA status on April 28 and nominated here 4 days later. The article is long enough, well-sourced, and there are no issues with copyright. All hooks are sourced within the article and under the character limit. I think that ALT2 is the best hook. QPQ has been provided. Good to go! Sebbirrrr (talk) 21:18, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
