I'll review this. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:19, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article looks good. Nice work. Copyvio score is high but that's because of text copied from a public domain source and attributed. The only thing I noticed is that I don't see the ALT0 hook in the article? (ctrl-f for "27 m" "30 yards" and "concrete" didn't find it). @EF5: Am I missing something? BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:38, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11: Swap out "concrete" for "asphalt". :) E_F⁵ 02:47, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see.
