Overall: @Orange sticker: read through the article, and all looks good from a DYK perspective. I have some nitpicks with the article itself I'll think over and probably leave on its talk if I have the time and think them valid enough(i.e. assessment but the difference between B and C isn't very standardized from what I see regardless), but this gets green from me. I'm technically marking this as AGF because I don't have access to The Wikipedia Library with my edit count, so it's paywalled for me. If anyone else who is Extended Confirmed wants to change that to green, feel free to. For picking a hook, I'd go with ALT0 probably, more likely to hook a reader into wanting to know more about the subject. --PixDeVl yell talk to me! 04:32, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
