Overall: @TonyTheTiger: Good article. AGF on sources since I can't access ProQuest. Onegreatjoke (talk) 21:18, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

User:Onegreatjoke Please double-check. You should be able to access the sources.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:23, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
- Requesting another reviewer to check the sources and confirm whether ProQuest supports the relevant information, or to report back if they can't access it. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:32, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
  - I just checked and TWL access doesn't let you see this source, so it will have to be someone who has access via some other method. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 20:32, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

        allowing an AGF pass – nominations shouldn't sit for a month over non-policy issues. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 22:23, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

I like this for quirky, but if we found a better quirky hook, I am not opposed to moving it to another slot. Bruxton (talk) 14:35, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
