New enough, long enough, well verified, etc. Nothing to comment, really, because it's a quality piece of work. Drmies (talk) 21:49, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Could we loose the contraction didn't in the hook? Keith D (talk) 00:16, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Personally, I couldn't care less. "No contractions" is from another era. Drmies (talk) 01:20, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm not going to be upset if it changes to "did not" but I'm not going to worry if it doesn't change either. Ealdgyth (talk) 16:12, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    - Promoted to Prep 7. I added a comma after "charter" for flow. Z1720 (talk) 02:15, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
