QPQ:
Overall: @SounderBruce: The article looks mostly good, but I think you should submit another hook, if possible, because ALT0 doesn't look very notable, while ALT1 might do the job, but could still be less interesting than some of the facts you've included in the "Post-match" section, for example... Also, I've noticed that your QPQ submission has been handed on to another reviewer: have you taken care of anything else in the meantime? Oltrepier (talk) 11:10, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Oltrepier: New hooks added, as well as a new QPQ given that my not-binding comments were so harshly rejected there. Sounder Bruce 07:20, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SounderBruce: ALT2 and ALT3 look good! Maybe I would slightly edit them to specify that both these facts have happened this year. Thank you for providing a new QPQ entry, as well: let's see how it develops! Oltrepier (talk) 10:29, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Oltrepier: Hooks amended, though if this gets pushed back to January they'll have to be fixed again. Sounder Bruce 02:33, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SounderBruce: Sorry, I articulated myself badly: writing "in 2023" would be more than sufficient... : D Oltrepier (talk) 08:13, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Oltrepier: Let's go with that instead. Sounder Bruce 00:24, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SounderBruce: Alright, then! Please let me know when you complete your QPQ review... Oltrepier (talk) 08:11, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Oltrepier: it looks like SounderBruce has provided the QPQ. Is there anything else necessary, or can this be approved? Z1720 (talk) 19:28, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720 and SounderBruce: Oh, sorry, I thought he had to complete it before I could give the green light... Alright, then! Oltrepier (talk) 08:09, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
