5x expanded by Gog the Mild (talk). Self-nominated at 01:04, 28 October 2020 (UTC).
Five times expanded, well-referenced and neutrally written throughout, Earwig finds only a book title and one short unavoidable phrase. Hook is interesting and cited, QPQ done, ready to go. Good work. The illustration by Poirson was a nice find! Moonraker (talk) 02:32, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but I'm having trouble finding the 40,000 rebels in the article. Could you add that, with a cite? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 21:39, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
- Apologies Yoninah. I think that comes of being too close to the material. Added and cited. Gog the Mild (talk) 22:01, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
