• Note for reviewer: While the original hooks were inadequate by DYK standards, I have helped expand this and have come up with some new hooks. Epicgenius (talk) 19:08, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
• This article is new enough and long enough. The image is suitably licensed, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. I like ALT2A best. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:46, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
