:::Thank you for your attention to detail on this. I don’t really have the capacity right now to get into the question of if the two terms are synonymous. So I propose simply replacing “lightning bolt” with “lightning flash” or “flash of lightning” in the hook.

• New enough, long enough, 16% on Earwig, and QPQ is done. It is neutralk to me, Hook is cited and in the article. Minor issues: the text Thus the maximum energy of lightning is not known with certainty. on “Highest energy” is unreferenced. Pinging @SpiralShell: for responce Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?)

Thank you @Miminity:! I have re-written the referenced statement and added a citation. SpiralShell (talk) 22:27, 24 August 2025 (UTC)

Good to go then. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 01:19, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

• @Miminity and SpiralShell: Reviewing for promotion, and I find the source does not describe the record event as a lightning bolt but as a lightning flash or a megaflash. I am not a meteorology expert so I am not sure if the two terms are synonymous, but since the hook doesn’t match the source precisely I don’t feel comfortable promoting without discussion.
