Slight trim to bring under 200 characters - SchroCat (talk) 10:12, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New, long and interesting article that looks neutral and properly sourced. The hook is interesting but 201 characters long, counting "that" and the question mark. It should be easy to make it a bit tighter without losing the essence. QPQ is done. I added links to the Arthurian characters. Ffranc (talk) 13:41, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The new hook is just below the limit. Ffranc (talk) 12:15, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
