Length, date, hook ok. No QPQ needed. Close paraphrase not found. Ideally "Malfunction Junction" should carry quotation marks. --Soman (talk) 10:01, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, Soman. I've added quotation marks to the title of that paragraph in the article. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 18:30, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
