Overall: Thanks for your work on this new article, Ben MacLeod! I definitely enjoyed reading it. However, not all paragraphs have citations, most notably the "History" and "Organisations" sections. Unless I'm mistaken, each paragraph must have at least one reference to satisfy the "cited" criterion, but ideally each sentence should be cited. Please note I'm accepting all the halifax.ca citations (including the hook citation) in good faith because the server appears to be down while I'm reviewing the nomination (although perhaps there are typos in the URLs?). Finally, I have a slight preference for the main hook over ALT1. Thanks for creating and nominating this article! Michael Barera (talk) 19:57, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Michael Barera, thank you so much for the review. I have added three additional references to the paragraphs in question. Appreciate if you could take another look. Best, Ben MacLeod (talk) 08:09, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much, Ben MacLeod! It looks good to go to me now. Sorry to be slow in responding. Once again, I have a slight preference for the main hook. Thanks for creating and nominating this article, Ben! Michael Barera (talk) 21:59, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
