5x expanded by HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk). Self-nominated at 03:18, 8 April 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Among the three hooks, ALT2 is the best option; I was able to verify it in the source and it is cited inline. A QPQ is still pending. The article is long enough and is free of close plagiarism; however, DYKcheck is not detecting a 5x expansion (it dates expansion from May 24, 2021). Please confirm if a 5x expansion was indeed accomplished. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:58, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Narutolovehinata5, Oops. It should now. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 03:47, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, the 5x expansion has now been accomplished. This will be good to go once a QPQ has been done. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 04:46, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

HickoryOughtShirt?4, a friendly reminder that QPQs need to be done within seven days of being reminded that they are in arrears. Since not everyone is aware of the RfC last year that required this, you can have seven days from today, though it would be great if you could finish one sooner. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:13, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you BlueMoonset, I did not know that. It makes sense though. I have completed my QPQ. Thank you for granting me an extension. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 14:29, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

All issues are resolved. Approving ALT2 only. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:12, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
