Comment: DYKcheck may show an error on this page because a copyright violation was removed before expansion. Unfortunately, there's no free image of the banking hall that I can find.

5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 17:07, 5 September 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Definitely expanded by more than five times the original prose, long enough, no problems with neutrality or sourcing. Earwig doesn't pick any plagiarism up. One source behind a paywall, but I accept it in good faith. Only thing left would be a QPQ. In my personal opinion, ALT1 and ALT2 are the most interesting options here. Good job!

- @Roniius: Thanks! I appreciate the review and kind words. I've done a QPQ now. epicgenius (talk) 14:34, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good to go. I'd suggest ALT1, it's the most interesting one to me. All of these hooks are very good, though. Roniius (talk) 14:36, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
