Overall: @Elli: Article is good. However, I don't really feel that the hook is all that interesting. It could be but I don't think so. Could you think of a different hook? Onegreatjoke (talk) 15:48, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Onegreatjoke: I've added an alternative hook, thoughts? Elli (talk | contribs) 20:08, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
