  • Article is well written with quality references, with no close paraphrasing. The length and date are sufficient. The illustrations are free of copyright and well used to illuminate the prose. A brilliant read. The hook is slightly long, I've had difficultly trimming it though. Symbol confirmed.svg No Swan So Fine (talk) 15:19, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
