That's all I've got! Putting on hold for now; as always, feel free to ping me with questions and let me know when you're finished! —  Ghost River  20:46, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks again for the review. I have done all of these. By the way, if you really went through all the refs on this nomination as well, you have my greatest respect (though I still appreciate your review even if you haven't). Epicgenius (talk) 14:12, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Great job, ready to pass! And yes, I really do go through every single reference. If nothing else, I am an academic, and going through other people's sources comes with the territory. —  Ghost River  14:54, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
