Created by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 23:30, 18 May 2021 (UTC).
Article was nominated within 7 days of creation. Article is well-written and cited with reliable sources. Earwigs pings some extended quotations but otherwise seems passable. Image is properly attributed and used in the article, but requires a caption. Hooks are cited and short enough for DYK; AGF on the offline sources (ALT0 is the most interesting IMO). Ping me once you've completed your QPQ and fixed the caption and I'll pass this nomination. Morgan695 (talk) 00:06, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Morgan695: Thanks for the review. I've now done a QPQ. Epicgenius (talk) 13:56, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
