Size and date check out; article is properly cited to reliable sources; hook proposals verifiable - prefer the "original" hook - spot checks show OK for CPR/copyvio; Earwig does show one with a high percentage match but it is a government and thus public-domain source so at that level I believe it is fine. I believe this is good to go. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 02:37, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
