Improved to Good Article status by Krakkos (talk). Self-nominated at 09:47, 20 March 2021 (UTC).
@Krakkos: The tag on the article needs to be resolved in order for this nomination to proceed. In other regards, this is a newly promoted GA and meets the newness and length criteria. The image is appropriately licensed, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:41, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, Cwmhiraeth. I have expanded the lead and removed the now redundant template. I hope this resolves the issue. Krakkos (talk) 07:13, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
Thank you. This nomination is good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:23, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
Cwmhiraeth Krakkos I'm not sure about the hook. It seems to me that it should state who considers it to be the best work on the topic. SL93 (talk) 23:46, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- @SL93: I have tweaked the hook in an attempt to address your concerns without making the hook too long and complex. Krakkos (talk) 17:31, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
That's fine. Restoring approval. SL93 (talk) 22:59, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
