- New enough:
Pass - Long enough: Pass
- Sourced: Pass
- Neutral: Pass
- Plagiarism-free: Pass
- Other issues: Nothing showstopping.
- - In this sentence:
- The plant was consistently dumping illegal amounts of fecal bacteria, ammonia, and phosphorus into the Transquaking River.
- I was wondering if it might be possible to replace "consistently" with something more quantative and precise. How long? how much? how frequently?
- - On the sourcing might be nice to add in just to shore up the articles sourcing.
- - I've suggested an ALT 2 just to tighten the phrasing up. Would appreciate a 2nd opinion.

- Seddon Do we need a new reviewer? SL93 (talk) 02:44, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
New reviewer needed. Previous reviewer had requested a second opinion back in early February. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:22, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
Passing ALT2, agree otherwise at the lack of fault found per Seddon. GTG. SN54129 15:59, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
