 * Symbol voting keep.svg Another impressive article! It is new enough, long enough, neutral, and well referenced. Hook is interesting and supported with Russian source, accepted AGF. QPQ is not required. No copyvio issues. Image is freely licensed.

Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 06:08, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Symbol voting keep.svg Ah yes, my bad. Revised ALT1 good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 17:36, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
