Overall: Article long and new enough, well-sourced, well-written. Earwig picks up nothing above quotations. Each hook is cited and interesting, with no other eligibility problems. I'm actually partial to ALT2 and ALT3, but all are good and I'm happy for the promotor to make the final call. A thorough QPQ was done. Looks great, and good to go for 1 February (well in time!).
