Amazing we didn't have an article yet. Article is new enough, long enough and within policy, but there are a few details that should be checked (I think the "yes" vote was 65.7%, which does not round to 67%, the "no" vote at the previous referendum. But the SRF source has 57%, so better double check this!). Hook is interesting/weird and cited inline. QPQ has been done. Referendum outcome needs to be correct, so —Kusma (talk) 11:07, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the kind review. Yes, I was also surprised that we didn't have an article yet. I double checked the numbers and you were right with the 65.7%, thanks for that as well.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 12:37, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
