Sources are reliable.
The article could use a top to bottom copyedit. I'm not going to fail this, but it's a borderline fail; failing it would be a pity because of the long wait for GANs to get reviewed -- if this were newly nominated I would almost certainly fail it. Your research is good and thorough, and you understand your topics well, but you're not fluent at explaining them. Have you considered trying to find a copyeditor to work with prior to nominating at GAN? I think it would make your GANs go a lot more smoothly (and might incline reviewers to pick them up for review more quickly).

Both the fixes look good; passing. Thanks for the explanation of the mechanism! It was really the syntax that I was complaining about, but your explanation helped me visualize it a little better. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 19:18, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
