New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Hook facts check out in ALT0 and ALT1 (AGF on ALT2) and are in the article. No textual issues in the article. Both images are freely licensed with appropriate captions. This will be a real eyecatcher as the lead hook in a set! Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:05, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
