General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, well-sourced, and has no evidence of plagiarism or close paraphrasing that I spotted. Hook is nice and concise, cited, and caught my attention as a non-science guy. QPQ done, so this should be good to go. Canadian Paul 14:51, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
