QPQ: Done.

Overall: The article is well-sourced and well-written. It was nominated on the day it was created, and Earwig shows that it is copyvio free. I personally prefer the ALT2 hook, as it is less technical and sounds more engaging. However, I am also fine with the original hook and will leave the final decision to the nominator. —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 14:14, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. I have no preference on the hooks, a promoter is welcome to take your preference into account while deciding which hook best fits in their set. Best, CMD (talk) 17:37, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
