Publisher change

I get the sense from the wording between the 1984 Paper Mayhem article and the 1990 and 1992 Paper Mayhem articles that the publishing team may have remained the same and they might have just changed the name. However it is not clear, so I didn't state that outright in the wording. --Airborne84 (talk) 23:45, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article is new enough and long enough. I assume good faith on the references that I can't access. While everything else checks out, a QPQ is needed. SL93 (talk) 22:25, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you SL93. I've done a review on the Borocera cajani nomination for QPQ. Appreciate the review! Airborne84 (talk) 02:47, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is ready. The promoter can choose the hook. SL93 (talk) 16:30, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
