5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 00:30, 22 July 2020 (UTC).[reply]

  • 5x expansion verified, other article requirements met. While all hooks are cited inline and either verified or AGF accepted, ALT3 may be the best option here as the most unusual. I could suggest linking to Elks Lodge for the benefit of non-American readers, but as the article title already has Elks Lodge in it this may be unnecessary, so consider this an optional comment. QPQ has been done. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:33, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
