Comment: I'm not set on the image being included, but I have added it as an option, for the reviewers and promoters to decide!

New (created 20 September); long enough (2672 words); within policy with inline cites. Earwig reports 3.8%, so copyright looks fine. Both hooks mostly look fine, but need some corrections: in the original, "is likely it was" -> "was likely"; and in ALT1 "fell out of fuel" should be clarified ('fell out of peat fuel' would be fine). Image looks OK but isn't great: up to the promoter to decide, if they don't have a better one that day! So @Lajmmoore: if you could tweak the hooks, I think this is ready to go. Thanks.

Thanks very much Mike Peel - I've made those changes to both now. Lajmmoore (talk) 07:05, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
