  @Muboshgu That's true now but probably not 5 to 10 years from now. Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Statements likely to become outdated Arconning (talk) 04:16, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

  Arconning, that isn't an issue with the {{inflation}} template though, as I don't include the end_year parameter. – Muboshgu (talk) 14:35, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

  @Muboshgu Ahh I see, I didn't see that. Will be promoting this article now. Arconning (talk) 14:46, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Images

• Images have proper licenses and are relevant to the article.
• On the third image, why is the "(right)" italicized?
  • I got in that habit long ago. MOS:CAPFRAG says in part The text of captions should not be specially formatted (with italics, for example), except in ways that would apply if it occurred in the main text. Several discussions (e.g. this one) have failed to reach a consensus on whether "stage directions" such as (right) or (behind podium) should be in italics, set off with commas, etc. Any one article should use a consistent approach throughout. It's consistent with the other image that he shares with another person.

Refs

• Random ref check: 1, 13, 15, 29, 46, seems good.
• Earwig picks up nothing.

Misc

• No ongoing edit war, pretty broad information on the topic, focused.
