Comments

• @Nicholas Michael Halim: Great work on improving the article to GA-status. For future reference, I suggest you send/submit your articles to the Guild of Copy Editors. They are a group who basically fix typos and any errors for you, and it can make it easier for GA-reviewers like me, so I won't have to add multiple suggestions about typos. Once again, great work, I'm passing the article for GA, just keep that group in mind before nominating. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 13:14, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
