- Hi Vami IV (talk) and Onegreatjoke (talk), review follows: article promoted to GA on 6 March; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing and Earwig is clear; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in the article and mostly checks out to the accessible source (AGF on the 1900 abandonment which is cited offline); I've struck ALT0 as I much prefer the wording of ALT1; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 11:31, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
