Hook eligibility:

Interesting:
Other problems: - I'd suggest "MangaDex had its users host its content" or "MangaDex had its users host content for it" to reduce redundancy (both in the sense that "it" is mentioned three times in a span of seven words, and in the sense that "host its content for it" is itself unnecessarily verbose.

QPQ: None required.

Overall: @ArcticSeeress: Nice work on this article. The hook needs a minor tweak, but otherwise everything checks out. Epicgenius (talk) 18:28, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
