All looks in order: long enough, new enough, neutrally presented and thoroughly referenced. No significant Earwig pings and QPQ is done. I vote for ALT1 as the most widely compelling, with a slight alteration to the punctuation (IMO emphasis is clear either way and reads more smoothly without the exclamation point on Ruth’s quote). If that’s acceptable, then good to go. (ALT2 would be my next choice.) Innisfree987 (talk) 06:49, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
