Comment: It may be possible to bold Hiroyuki Nishimura as well, as I improved his article too, sourcing everything and expanding it. Although, it was a while ago, so I am not sure of all the rules.

Improved to Good Article status by Psiĥedelisto (talk) and GRuban (talk). Nominated by Psiĥedelisto (talk) at 06:49, 11 August 2020 (UTC).

The article was promoted to GA in time and is neutral. I assume good faith on the references that I can't read. The image is free use. The hooks are directly cited. This is ready. SL93 (talk) 00:36, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

As per request from @SL93: at WT:Did you know#Prep 3, there are some issues with the hook that need to be addressed. @Psiĥedelisto: please do the necessary changes. ~ Amkgp 💬 09:01, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

@Amkgp: The above should address the concern. Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) ^{please always ping!} 21:46, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. @SL93 and Chipmunkdavis:: would either anyone mind reviewing ALT2? ~ Amkgp 💬 05:03, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

I suggested an alternative hook in the WT page so I'm not going to review, but tagging for new review. CMD (talk) 06:18, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

That hook works. SL93 (talk) 02:58, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
