The article is long enough and new enough. I assume good faith on the references that I can't access. The hook information is directly cited. A QPQ has been completed. ALT0 would only be interesting to those who know more about computers while ALT2 is like that more so. I am approving ALT1. SL93 (talk) 20:08, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
