• Article looks good; clearly long enough. ALT0 is the most interesting to me, although it should probably say what the judge's advice was. Earwig score looks great. This looks ready to me. —VersaceSpace 🌃 14:52, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Distorted portrait

The portrait looks laterally compressed. In comparison with the image here it is indeed about 10% compressed. I know, I really should address the issue at Commons, not here, but I'm hoping that someone else more motivated than I am about this can do so. There are also other issues tagged at Commons.
