This is fascinating! Certainly one of the better articles and hooks I've seen in a while. The hook sources all check out and are in the article, and there's a QPQ. It's a new enough GA, as well. I think this might be one of the more viewed DYKs in the month this gets posted. Perhaps this would be best run on an NFL Sunday... Raymie (t • c) 04:18, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Raymie for the kind words. I like your idea; would the closer of this DYK please utilize this hook on a Sunday that the Packers play (~~Oct 6, Oct 20,~~ Oct 27, Nov 3 or Nov 10 would all work). « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:30, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
