Comment Upon second review I consider ALT0a to read a little better. It remains consistent with the sourcing, though I welcome further feedback. ResonantDis_tortion 21:55, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

I shall review this. Storye book (talk) 08:23, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

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: Done.

Overall: Thank you for this interesting article. ~~Just one minor issue:~~

Neutrality can be a delicate thing. The "nasty, brutish and not short enough" review balances the other reviews, so the body of the article is neutral in that respect. But the header only says "critically well-received", which is not neutral, and sounds like an advertisement. So please neutralise the header?
I have given the article a minor copyedit, and added a missing reference. That does not affect this DYK nomination.

~~When the neutrality issue is resolved,~~ this nomination should be good to go. Storye book (talk) 09:03, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the review Storye book. Fair point - as ever I have aimed for neutrality, however this was not wholly reflected in the lead. I have edited the section to try and resolve this. Furthermore your copyedit improvement is most appreciated. ResonantDis_tortion 22:09, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, ResonantDistortion. The header is fine, now. Good to go, with either hook. Storye book (talk) 08:09, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
