Hi Casliber, review follows: 5x expanded from 14 July; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I don't have access to tall the sources but found no issues with overly close paraphrasing form the ones I checked; hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; image is good at this scale and appropriately licensed; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 14:49, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
