New enough and long enough. QPQ present. All hooks are in the article, represented as citations, and interesting (I do prefer ALT0 myself). No textual issues. Image for ALT0 is freely licensed. One suggestion: you tend to join sentence pieces with a comma and "and" when the comma isn't necessary. I've removed many of these. You need both a comma and "and" when two full sentences are being joined, but not when there is no subject in the second half. Raymie (t • c) 01:56, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
