• Recent GA which qualifies for DYK. The QPQ is completed. The article is neutral and uses the correct inline citations. I prefer ALT2 as interesting, cited and in the article. I do not find evidence of copyright violations. Bruxton (talk) 22:17, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

I have promoted ALT2 but the article is not in the hook. Lightburst (talk) 21:39, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
