QPQ: Done.

Overall: The article is new enough (moved from draftspace on February 4) and long enough (2,440 characters of readable prose) with no copyright issues picked up by Earwig. QPQ was done and the hook is interesting and verified by the given ref. @SounderBruce: I like the joke hook, but definitely add more hook options before I approve this, just in case it isn't allowed. -- ZooBlazer 04:25, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

  I like ALT0 best, but if it's not allowed I'll leave it up to the closing admin to decide which one to use. -- ZooBlazer 09:21, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
