The article is both new and long enough at 7823 characters. The article is neutral and has the correct inline citations. The QPQ is done. I much prefer ALT1 as it is interesting to me, and it cited and in the article. Earwig does not alert to copyright violations. Bruxton (talk) 03:29, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks. Agree ALT1 is better and am striking the other one so there is no confusion. Cielquiparle (talk) 03:39, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Cielquiparle: Oops my mistake- I mistakenly identified the the wrong ALT - I actually checked out and liked ALT0. I just confirmed the other, and unstruck ALT0 so a prep builder can choose either. Both are interesting and in the article cited. Bruxton (talk) 15:09, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
