New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Hook fact checks out and is interesting. Everything is there...but I've got some big time advice, Orygun because you need to clip all those newspapers.com citations (and I'd put the rest of the citations in citation templates while you're at it). Get yourself PressPass, which makes the process of generating citation markup a lot easier (watch for section page numbers and authors, which can't be added automatically), and clip them so that people without subscriptions can view the content. As someone with 11,500 newspapers.com clippings added to Wikipedia, it's important that editors learn how to do this right. The result will save you a lot of time in your future use of the site, too.
