| Submission declined on 26 May 2025 by DoubleGrazing (talk). Resubmitted without any improvement, previous decline still stands.
Fair warning: this is fast approaching outright rejection without the option to resubmit. My advice would be not to waste your few remaining chances on pointless resubmissions like this.
