- @Narutolovehinata5: Sorry for the delay and I wasn't aware of the recent rule change, and also, I was busy with my ongoing academics which is why it took time for me to complete my QPQ. Nevertheless, I will ensure to complete QPQ immediately for my future DYKs. Hope you can now review my hook now. - Toadboy123 (talk) 14:30, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
