Hi Trainsandotherthings, review follows; article promoted to GA on 5 December; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up any issues with overly close paraphrasing in a spotcheck on sources; hooks are interesting (preference for ALT0), mentioned in the article and check out to sources cited; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 07:49, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
