• Approved: article is long enough, looks to be in great shape and was expanded within the window. Hooks are sourced, interesting and check out: I must admit to finding ALT2 a little opaque (how could they find objects in a locked safe?), but ALT0, ALT1 and ALT3 are all excellent (ALT4 is fine, but a little less enticing than the others). QPQ is done. Nice work. UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 06:15, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
