5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 12:57, 14 April 2022 (UTC).

• ALT5 in my opinion is the most clickable and verified by the NYT reference. 5 times expanded since April 11 so it qualifies. This is the 540th DYK and the QPQ is completed. Correct inline citations and interesting. No photo. i spot checked references, and will AGF on others. Bruxton (talk) 01:27, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
