- Comment no point in a date-specific appearance as the hook makes no mention of it. ——Serial 16:59, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
Nominated within 7 days of receiving GA icon. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen in online sources. The first hook is terrific. Offline hook ref AGF and cited inline. Images are freely licensed. The only issue is that the QPQ is not a full review. Yoninah (talk) 11:13, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
