I'll review this one! BaduFerreira (talk) 01:50, 28 June 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:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Looks good to me! Article is new enough (created June 25th) and well-sourced. Copyvio has a high percentage (49.2%), but that's due to the inscription and other quotes which are cited. I personally prefer ALT1 as that feels more compelling and draws me into the article. BaduFerreira (talk) 02:16, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing! I agree, ALT1 is better. APK hi :-) (talk) 02:20, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
