An excellent article - newly moved to mainspace, plenty long, and well-written. (It would not require much to pass a GA review.) No copyvio or sourcing issues found. Image is freely licensed, works at this scale, and used in the article.
- All three hooks are short, interesting, and properly cited. I think ALT0 is the most interesting and would recommend it. If so, I would link "hack" and "Montmartre" as are done in the article. (Regarding that: should "hack" link to hack (horse), as it currently does in the article, or hackney carriage?) Pi.1415926535 (talk) 03:43, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Pi.1415926535: Thanks for the review! I think it should link to the horse, as I see no mention of the carriage being used in France or Paris. NeoGaze (talk) 05:16, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
