General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Hi there @Lajmmoore: the article looks good; it is new and long enough, there are no problems with copyvios (Earwig's only throws up the name), QPQ is done, sourcing is good and hook is cited. Hookwise, I much prefer ALT0; it seems a lot more interesting. On the image side of things, it is free to use (PD) and is clear at 120px. However, I am a bit concerned about your comment on the talk page. I feel that not using the sources you have put on the talk page could be seen as not covering all the major viewpoints. This is my only concern; could you please address this? Thanks, Schminnte (talk contribs) 16:29, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

  • Schminnte, thanks very much for the review - I'll be delayed in addressing your concerns as I have a lot of off-wiki deadlines going into early next week. I'll take a proper look as soon as I can Lajmmoore (talk) 06:49, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
Hello Schminnte - it took me a little longer than I anticipated to work on this, but I've gone through the sources from white authors, and added three into the article that convey new infomation that isn't published elsewhere. There were a couple that I couldn't access ultimately, which I've commented about on the talk page, so hopefully another editor will come along and incorporate those. Please me know if there's anything additional to add. Lajmmoore (talk) 07:50, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for that Lajmmoore: I think we are good to go now. Schminnte (talk contribs) 07:57, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
