5x expanded by Bloom6132 (talk). Self-nominated at 01:25, 12 October 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Hi Bloom6132, review follows: article more than 5x expanded from 11 October and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't spot any issue with overly close paraphrasing and all quotes are attributed; hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 06:36, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
