Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: @ThaesOfereode: Hello! Excellent work on the article. The current hook is already engaging, so the additional three alternatives are unnecessary. The article appears well-developed, having been expanded more than fivefold, and the information does not raise any concerns regarding plagiarism. 🐝 B33 net 🐝

@B33net: Thanks for the kind words and the review! I've moved the comment to a different section of the template since it was reading a "no go" message for the hook. If there's something wrong with the hook, just move it back and let me know. Thanks again. ThaesOfereode (talk) 14:35, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ThaesOfereode:, I wanted to find out more about Anna Metta Claßen, but I think the link for Gregersen 2024a is wrong. https://dspace.uba.uva.nl/server/api/core/bitstreams/0cd5fc49-c475-4097-b5b4-a6ab4d2e7717/content gives me Indigenous Andean Voices at the Interface between the Oral and the Written.

My bad; thanks for letting me know! It looks like I accidentally copied chapter two from the issue instead of chapter three, but it should be fixed now. ThaesOfereode (talk) 13:37, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
