5x expanded by Owain.davies (talk). Self-nominated at 13:53, 5 August 2022 (UTC).[reply]

New enough, long enough, neutral and no close paraphrasing detected as far as I'm able to check. Prefer ALT1 as more interesting (paper presses going through tons of dead trees seems like par for the course). A few paragraphs in the body need inline citations; I have marked those with {{Citation needed}}. QPQ not needed (nominator has under 5 DYKs). Nice work.

@DigitalIceAge: The nominator has not edited since the 11th. What should be done with the nomination in the meantime? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:21, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Narutolovehinata5: I suppose I can adopt this. I have found some book pages to substantiate the {{citation needed}}-tagged sentences. DigitalIceAge (talk) 05:30, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

With apologies, i had a traffic accident, and my concussion has meant i've been unable to use screens for the last two weeks. I am getting back to it now, with thanks to those who have contributed in my absence. It looks like most everything is resolved? Happy to do any further clean up if there are any other comments. OwainDavies ^(about)_(talk) edited at 08:01, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to hear that @Owain.davies:! I hope your recovery is quick from here on. The recent changes are good, and I'd be happy to give this the GTG. I'd just like to know if my added book citations are overstepping my role as the reviewer from @Narutolovehinata5:. DigitalIceAge (talk) 15:00, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@DigitalIceAge: I hope that they like them, I think they're really valuable! (I've reused those books for a few other cites now) OwainDavies ^(about)_(talk) edited at 07:21, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The text additions are great! Since my contribution is now relatively tiny now compared to the recent expansion I think I can give ALT1 the GTG now. DigitalIceAge (talk) 20:31, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
