Improved to Good Article status by Alanna the Brave (talk). Self-nominated at 20:34, 25 May 2020 (UTC).

  • Symbol confirmed.svg Article improved to GA status within the requisite timeframe. It is long enough, and within policy. Earwig's tool throws up a high likelihood of copyvio, but most of the hits are quotations or names, and I think the other phrases are common and specific enough that their use is acceptable. Hook is interesting, and checks out against the sources. Image license checks out to the best of my abilities. Good to go. Vanamonde (Talk) 20:36, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
