Reviewing... Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 22:36, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
Created from redirect in the last couple days, long enough, meets basic policy requirements.
Noting that the same citation doesn't need to be add two sentences in a row (WP:REPCITE), but this isn't a policy requirement.
One of the most interesting Wikipedia articles I've read in a while. The hooks are great. ALT1 is hardcore and would be my first choice.
All hooks are cited and verified.
QPQ in progress. It looks like you haven't done checks in the article yet, and the nominator is waiting for a reply.
Assuming you finish the QPQ that's in progress, this should be good to go. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 23:16, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

Thanks Thebiguglyalien! The QPQ is done. As for repeated citations, I find it's helpful for me while adding to articles to add a citation to the end of every statement that may at some point be rearranged or separated from its later anchor. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 18:48, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
