Comment: A bit of a strange one. I discovered that KOBF (previously a redirect) merited its own page due to its past local history, and Mvcg spun out the relevant material that had been in the KOB page. However, outside of some generic phrases, the content as it stands is practically all-new.

Overall: Looks good to go on a first read-through, and greatly prefer the ALT0 hook over the ALT1. I think this is also eligible as an expanded content fork anyway. Sounder Bruce 09:54, 7 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
