 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is new enough, long enough (over 4,400 characters by my count), and free of any major policy issues (it is neutral, very well cited, and free of any copyright issues). The hook and two alternates are all short enough, neutral, and properly cited with inline citations to verifiable references. Of the three, I prefer the main hook, as I believe it to be the most interesting, while ALT2 would be my second choice. Also, QPQ has been done. Good to go. Nice work!
