Final comments and verdict

•  On hold but feel free to tell me if any of the changes don't need implementing for certain reasons. --K. Peake 10:54, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

• Damian Vo I had accidentally not updated the talk page to the on hold status, though I can see from above that you noticed this; I did some copyediting in the lead after you made the fixes with the singles, ✓ Pass time now! --K. Peake 14:57, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your helpful comments. Have a great week! Damian Vo (talk) 15:02, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
