• article was recently promoted to GA, is long enough and within policy. The hooks are all short enough and generally interesting. My preference is for ALT1. SounderBruce, you need 2 QPQs right now because DYK is backlogged (see Wikipedia:Did you know/Guidelines#Mandatory reviews). Let me know when you get your second. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:47, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
