Comment: This is my first DYK nom; I wanted to submit a nom before reviewing one so I learned at least something, and if I'm understanding the DYK rules right, I can? Also, I really hope this isn't horrible; I'm giving it my best shot. Thanks! Skarmory (talk • contribs) 17:51, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer the third hook, though each are cited with reliable sources. The article is definitely long enough. Copyvio tool reveals few similarities between the article and sources, and where there is similarities, it's probably unavoidable. No issues with neutrality. Article was created on January 14 and nominated on January 20, which complies with the new article criteria. Nominator will not be required to complete a QPQ.
