Starting review here. Updates to follow. Ktin (talk) 02:55, 6 December 2021 (UTC)


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article meets eligibility criteria for newness and length. Hook is cited and interesting. However, the link that is in the article (currently ref #10) is throwing a Http 403 forbidden error. Should be fixed. Earwig's Copyvio detector does not show any issues with Copyvio. QPQ done. Passing this nomination back to the nominator to fix the issue ref #10 in the article before finalizing this one. Ktin (talk) 02:55, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

  • Weird, I have no idea what happened there, but I'm getting the 403 now too. Technically, it shouldn't affect the review since sources aren't required to be on line, but,I had a saved PDF and I've just uploaded to archive.org. -- RoySmith (talk) 03:40, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
I've also added an ALT1, which I think is a bit better than the original. -- RoySmith (talk) 03:44, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
Marking approved. Assuming good faith WP:AGF on the PDF. Both hooks look good to go. Ktin (talk) 03:49, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
