Starting review. Updates to follow. Ktin (talk) 05:07, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: Article meets eligibility criteria. No issues with tone. Referencing seems alright, but, is sourced to offline sources. I will AGF on those offline sources. Assuming AGF on plagiarism checks as well. No QPQ needed.

Both hooks are interesting. However, to validate both of the hooks, please can I get the relevant sections from the offline sources quoted here? Ktin (talk) 05:20, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Ktin Hi, sorry if my reply is not properly formatted, I'm still working on learning some aspects of Wikipedia. I've linked a Google Books copy of the source at the bottom of the page itself in the Works Cited section, but it is also at this link as well: https://books.google.com/books?id=Nf_uKU6bYRYC&pg=PA25&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=2#v=onepage&q&f=false — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lbal (talk • contribs) 19:11, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem on the formatting. Let me take a look at the Google Books preview. Ktin (talk) 01:23, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Validated both hooks using p33 of the Google Books Preview. Good to go. Ktin (talk) 01:32, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
