QPQ: Done.

Overall: I think ALT0 is the hookiest, and have AGF its citation, although some of the other hooks, which I have not yet checked for citation, are possible contenders. QPQ still pending. – John M Wolfson ( talk • contribs) 01:03, 2 January 2023 (UTC) reply

@ John M Wolfson: Thanks for the review. I have now done a QPQ. Epicgenius ( talk) 14:29, 5 January 2023 (UTC) reply
@ Epicgenius: I have duly noted your QPQ, but I don't see the pyramids in the citation for ALT3. The other hooks have been checked and accepted AGF. – John M Wolfson ( talk • contribs) 02:33, 20 January 2023 (UTC) reply
@ Epicgenius: I was also wondering where the pyramids were in the article, as I rather like ALT3 and was hoping to promote it. Cielquiparle ( talk) 12:27, 20 January 2023 (UTC) reply
@ John M Wolfson and Cielquiparle: Oops. I have added a mention of the pyramids (the NYCL and NPS sources both mention "triangular projections", but a 3D triangle is a pyramid, and I think this is mentioned in the Stern reference). Epicgenius ( talk) 13:43, 20 January 2023 (UTC) reply
