5x expanded by Bloom6132 (talk). Self-nominated at 05:50, 10 August 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Hi Bloom6132, review follows: 5x expansion confirmed in early August; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't spot any issues with overly close paraphrasing; hooks are interesting, mentioned in the article and check out to sources cited; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 08:24, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
