Hook eligibility:

One other thing: It was assessed as a stub; I have fixed that. And a massive thank you for your work on this article; you definitely improved it markedly :) Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 05:48, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- @ HouseBlaster Thank you so much for the review and the kind words. I actually prefer your hook wording over mine. I have swapped out my hook wording for yours above, and altered the lead text to mirror this way of presenting the information. Thanks again.4meter4 (talk) 16:27, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
