Comment: The article is relatively short and needs further development before being highlighted; the topic is an interesting one, but the hook could do with being shorter. Perhaps,

I mean, numerically it's over the limit, but as written, this article would deserve {{no lead}}, and one should be added.--Laun chba ller 19:56, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've reformatted the article into sections and sommething akin to a weak lead. Feeback is welcoem.GobsPint (talk) 04:42, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My concern is assuaged.--Laun chba ller 07:43, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Lots of good comments but nobody appears to have reviewed. So I guess I will take it on.4meter4 (talk) 22:50, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article is new enough. It's long enough even after removing the large blocks of quoted text. Earwig did flag copyright violation, but this was due to the large blocks of quoted text which have been properly attributed and are within policy. No close paraphrasing or copyright found, and the article appears to be within policy in all other measures. Hook fact and length both check out for the original and Alt1 hooks. I leave it to the promoter to decide which hook wording they prefer to promote.4meter4 (talk) 23:03, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback from New Page Review process[edit]

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Clearly written and sufficiently referenced. Some of the points show over-citations, such as the end of the lede. This means that readers don't know which reference to turn to find the most substantive pieces of evidence to support the claim. There is also no lede, distinct from sections within the body of the article; the lede is a helpful summary or abstract of a more well-developed article.
