Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
Interesting:
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Article is new and long enough, and the hook is very interesting. The article has citations for every paragraph, excepting the lede (which is expanded upon and cited in the body per rules). Assuming good faith on offline historical sources. The only issue is that it appears like the QPQ review is not quite complete yet. Once that gets done, this should be all ready for approval. Approving on good faith while the QPQ is in progress. BuySomeApples (talk) 20:45, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi BuySomeApples, thanks for the review. I've given the nominator a nudge over at the QPQ review but I've done all I can there. It's typical to assume that the reviewer will come back to complete the QPQ and accept the credit in such cases but up to you - Dumelow (talk) 05:59, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi Dumelow, that's OK it might be awhile before that other nominator comes back. I'll approve this in that case and take it on good faith that you'll finish the review (or if the other nominator never responds and it gets closed). BuySomeApples (talk) 07:24, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
