QPQ: - Not done
Overall: @Epicgenius: Good article. QPQ needed. Though Earwig reports some copyvio. Though, they're from the LPC which I assume is public domain, though would like some confirmation. Also, i can't seem to find the hook for alt0 in the source though I may be dumb. Onegreatjoke (talk) 23:07, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Onegreatjoke: Thanks for the review. I haven't done a QPQ yet, but I do want to note that I accidentally put the wrong source in the hook. This is the correct source. Also, the Earwig matches are because I took a relatively long quote from the LPC report, as well as used several common phrases/proper names (e.g. "the Church of the Transfiguration", "at the northwest corner of", "in the late 19th century") which are false positives.
