Very interesting well written, no copyvio, QPQ done and on theme intrestingly enough, hook is interesting. I trust that the source listed confirms this but did go and look for external sources and found that it's true. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 03:50, 2 June 2024 (UTC) reply

  - @ Generalissima: That would improve the hook add some context. Consider adding it to the article Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 03:26, 4 June 2024 (UTC) reply
