• Hey, nice work 🙂 AGF because I don't have access to the orig sources. QPQ done, 5x expanded by nom date (9 May), article is presentable, long enough, well-sourced, images are properly licensed, no significant issues with article, no copyvio. Hooks are contained in body of article. Of the given hooks, I think ALT2 is the most interesting so I'd promote that. My second choice is ALT3. seefooddiet (talk) 19:06, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
