  • Article is new enough (created 26 November) and long enough (prose at 3,280 characters).
  • Article is neutral and well cited, and Earwig detects no copyvio problems.
  • Hook is of sufficient length, is properly formatted, and is confirmed by sourcing in article text. I like ALT0 better than ALT1.
  • QPQ is done.
  • I made a couple of minor copy edits to the article. Overall, very well written and interesting!
  • Article is good to go. Armadillopteryxtalk 08:15, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
