 * Symbol possible vote.svg Article meets newness criterion; prose expanded more than fivefold within the last 7 days. Prose is long enough. Within policy: sufficient inline citations, seems neutral, etc. Hook does not exceed 200 characters. Interesting hook. Wording is slightly redundant; prefer ALT1 that I added.

 * Ergo Sum, your review seems to indicate that the submission is good to go, yet you marked it as not ready. Is there something that still needs addressing? --Paul_012 (talk) 05:59, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * No, I was just waiting to see if there might be a discussion on the initial proposal vs the alternative.  Ergo Sum  18:23, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * In that case, it's such a minor change (just two words), I think this can safely be marked as ready. (Or you could ping Prioryman on his talk page, if you prefer. It's possible he might not be watching this subpage.) --Paul_012 (talk) 19:26, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm OK with ALT1. Prioryman (talk) 08:41, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg In that case, I'll go ahead and mark ALT1 as ready to go.  Ergo Sum  21:51, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
