Overall: ALT2 is too hyperbolic (which is WaPo's fault), and ALT3 is the least interesting of the lot. I like ALT1 over ALT0. I'd say "had visited" instead of "visited" for both, which is the wording used in the article. Nothing to keep me from approving this. Apocheir (talk) 00:53, 29 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
