Created Jan 24, definitely big enough (and well written), no copyvio and proper use and licensing of images (only minor correction of CC license needed for some). Each hook is within the limit, sourced and interesting, though I think ALT2, ALT4 and ALT5 are the most eye-catching. MSG17 (talk) 20:55, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am happy to proceed with ALT2 or ALT5! —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 07:46, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
