Moved from draft today. No QPQ required. I've made a couple of minor edits to ensure neutral adherence to source. Copyvio check only highlights attributed direct quotes. I love the hook! It's correctly cited at the end of the appropriate sentence. Approving both ALT0 and ALT1 with a slight preference for 0 at it puts "dynamite" up front to catch people's eye.
