Created by Dr.Swag Lord, Ph.d (talk). Self-nominated at 04:37, 4 October 2022 (UTC).[reply]

@Dr.Swag Lord, Ph.d: ~~Meets all requirements.~~ Really interesting subject, and probably would be really practical/helpful for lots of readers haha. Would opt for ALT0 since it covers the topic more broadly. Lots of interesting nuggets in the article's Notable findings section and there's many ALTS that could probably be made for this nom, so that's why I'd probably go with ALT0. Good job on this.

- Oops, misread QPQ. Realize now that this was nominator's way of saying QPQ was to be done. My fault here. Should be listed back at Awaiting approval page. Soulbust (talk) 15:08, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Soulbust:! I added my QPQ. Dr. Swag Lord (talk) 19:02, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
