QPQ: - Not done Overall: Interesting hook, and an engaging rewording of the information provided in the source. I see little issue with referring to the FAA in its acronym form, so long as its mention links to the article on the agency. I would suggest linking "September 11 attacks" to its respective article as well. Please update when QPQ has been completed. Cheers! —Matthew - (talk) 22:05, 19 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

fortunately, Penitentes is exempt from the QPQ requirement, as they are under the five-prior-nomination limit. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 21:50, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
