New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. I've struck the alt hook because it's quite wordy, but the ALT0 hook states the case well. Hook refs verified and cited inline. QPQ done. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 00:15, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yoninah, thanks for review! —valereee (talk)
