  • Hi Gog, review follows: article promoted to GA on 1 December and nominated the same day; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; most sources are offline but I checked a sample of the online sources and found no issue with overly close paraphrasing; hook is interesting and mentioned in the article, AGF on offline source cited; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me. Not a DYK issue but just a note that you list Sherwood as a source but don't cite him - Dumelow (talk) 19:33, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
Thanks Dumelow, Sherwood was supporting the text that got removed in the last edit before the article was promoted. I was so excited I forgot to check. Now removed. Gog the Mild (talk) 19:37, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
