• Moved from draft on 12/17. Long enough. Well sourced. Earwig detects nothing nefarious. With one exception, the hooks check out as short enough, interesting and sourced. The exception is alt3 where the article cited after the sentence at issue (here) doesn't include the "startlingly realistic" and "straight out of fantasyland" bit -- maybe that's from another source? (Not on point, but alt4 reminded me fondly of what a solid TV presence Forrest Sawyer was.) QPQ satisfied. Cbl62 (talk) 17:29, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
  • @Cbl62: Thanks so much for the speedy review! I swapped out ALT3 with the Washington Post source. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 18:43, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
