Having trouble with with accessing the newspaper sources (Wikipedia Library is fickle for me), so AGF on it for both references and copyvios. I will note that there was some overlinking and an obvious mislink. I've fixed those. Otherwise, everything seems to be in order and is worthy of commendation. While I won't mention the specifics of why, the dairy fact is especially fun for me. Good work! ~ Pbritti (talk) 02:25, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
