Hi Kingoflettuce, review follows: article created on 18 December and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to what appear to be reliable (offline) sources; happy to AGF no overly close paraphrasing from the offline sources, Earwig is clear; hook is interesting, stated in the article and cited offline; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 16:27, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
