- Article is new enough at 1 day, long enough at 5,000 characters, well cited, neutral, and policy compliant. Earwig tool doesn't detect anything problematic at 0.0%. The hook is short enough, hooky, accurate and supported by in-line sourcing (ANB). No Photo used. QPQ complete. Good To Go.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:21, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
