Interesting life, on fine sources, foreign-language sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The hook is fine by me, I just fixed a typo. Why no image, perhaps one of the two views? I understand that you will have to supply a second qpq review, then we are set. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:41, 2 November 2025 (UTC)

Piotrus, did you hear me? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:54, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Not until the ping now, since my watchlist is too large, and I did not get any talk page notification. The ping now of course worked. Here's the 2nd QPQ: Template:Did you know nominations/12th Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam (ongoing). Tnx for your review. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 00:31, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

Thank you. (I don't clutter talk pages if I can avoid it, expect people to monitor their nominations, and I do for m< reviews,) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:01, 11 November 2025 (UTC)
