QPQ: Done. |
Overall: Another fascinating article on NYC. I loved the $1.75 charges to move a bar of gold. The photograph adequately depicts the hook, which is rare. Just the QPQ. No Swan So Fine (talk) 09:47, 19 February 2021 (UTC) No Swan So Fine (talk) 09:47, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- @No Swan So Fine: Thanks for yet another review. I've done a QPQ now. I did consider writing a hook about the $1.75 movement charge per bar, and there were plenty of other strange facts in there that I also considered writing about. Epicgenius (talk) 16:25, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
