I will get to this in a moment. Pleasure to be talking to you for the first time; I've always appreciated your efforts to bring these core articles up to standard. Elias 🪐 (dreaming of Saturn; talk here) 08:15, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
Interesting:
QPQ: Done.
Overall: QPQ done. Thorough GAN review here suggests great care was taken in writing this; concur. Sourcing is great, and it is pretty neutral/encompasses several perspectives (e.g. coverage of "History" section). Reviewer did spotchecks of offline sources, so I take it in good faith there was no plagiarism, OR, or issues with source-text integrity. Prefer ALT2 although I note the fact itself is not explicitly mentioned in the hook. Second preference for ALT0. Really good nomination; just have a really minor concern.

Hello Elias and thanks for doing this review. In relation to ALT2, I assume you mean that the fact in the hook is not explicitly mentioned in the article. That's correct, it is indirectly covered in the 2nd paragraph of the subsection "Others" by how the terms are defined but this may not be sufficient. I added a footnote now to cover this explicitly.
