Approve Main Hook The article was made on the 5th, so is new enough and is about twice as long as the requirements. The article reads neutrally, has in-line citations, and shows no issues after running through the copyvio tool. I think the original, main hook is the more interesting of the two and it is short enough and directly in-line referenced. This appears to be your second DYK, if i'm seeing things right, so no QPQ necessary. And there is no image to review. Looks good to go. Silver seren^C 00:06, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
