• Article is new enough, long enough, and well-sourced. Tone is neutral, and while Earwig numbers are high, all it's flagging are quotes and proper nouns, and a spot check revealed no issues. QPQ done. All of the hooks are interesting and sourced, but I think ALT0 stands out and would be my preference. Nice work on this article. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 15:27, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
