• I'll take this review. Chorchapu (talk | edits) 16:55, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
Freely licensed: Used in article: Clear at 100px:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: Looks good! Out of the proposed hooks I think I like the first one/ALT0 best, but ALT1 and ALT2 would work as well. I think ALT3 is too dense for the average reader (myself included) to understand. While the image does work I don't think it adds much to the blurb so would be better left out.

undefined references

Hi @Closed Limelike Curves, I just wanted to let you know that this edit did not define the references it uses, leading to citation errors. Alenoach (talk) 17:34, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

Whoops, thanks—I was working in another editor and forgot to copy the references in. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 23:10, 31 July 2026 (UTC)
