Hi
Z1720, review follows: 5x expansion confirmed; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing from the sources; hooks are interesting enough (prefer ALT0 as we don't seem to know what the actual role of administrator was), mentioned in the article and check out to sources cited; a QPQ has been carried out -
