  • This article is a newly promoted GA and is new enough and long enough. I have struck two of the proposed hooks but the remaining hooks are satisfactory, apart from ALT4 which is marginally too long and needs trimming. The image is appropriately licensed, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues (Earwig gave a high score but it seemed to me that other sites had copied the Wikipedia article). A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:55, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
