This article is new enough and long enough. I think ALT0 is too incomprehensible and ALT1 is more interesting, so I am approving ALT1. The map is public domain, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:39, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
