Article was nominated within 7 days of creation. Article is well-written and cited with reliable sources. Earwigs pings some extended quotations but otherwise seems passable. Image is properly attributed and used in the article, but requires a caption. Hooks are cited and short enough for DYK; AGF on the offline sources (ALT0 is the most interesting IMO). Ping me once you've completed your QPQ and fixed the caption and I'll pass this nomination. Morgan695 (talk) 00:06, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
