- New, long enough, well written and cited, QPQ present. Nice work. Prefer ALT1 (though linked cite doesn't directly say three, others verify), as 11 years isn't that long, but who am I to say as someone now eager to see List of North Carolina Courage seasons unredlinked.

- No QPQ needed. Hook is interested, although you really should list the source again here; it's de Crespigny, Rafe (2018). Generals of the South: The Foundation and Early History of the Three Kingdoms State of Wu. This checks out, however. Article seems in decent shape, although might need a round of copyediting; it's presentable, but some of the sentences are phrased a little clunkily.

The book notes: "We don't recommend it if you're looking for authenticity, but the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show is a 60-minute lumberjack contest providing a Disneyesque taste of old-time woodsman skills, including ax throwing, buck-sawing, springboard chopping, log-rolling duels, and a 50-foot tree climb that ends in a free fall."

- Article was moved to mainspace today, so is new enough. At over 3000 characters, it is long enough. The article reads neutrally and properly uses in-line citations. The copyvio detector finds no issues. Both hooks are interesting and are cited in-line. No QPQ is required (though will be on your next one, have fun with that!). Everything looks good to go!
