Improved to Good Article status by Phlsph7 (talk). Self-nominated at 10:15, 16 March 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Semantics; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

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
  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: QPQ done. Thorough GAN review here suggests great care was taken in writing this; concur. Sourcing is great, and it is pretty neutral/encompasses several perspectives (e.g. coverage of "History" section). Reviewer did spotchecks of offline sources, so I take it in good faith there was no plagiarism, OR, or issues with source-text integrity. Prefer ALT2 although I note the fact itself is not explicitly mentioned in the hook. Second preference for ALT0. Really good nomination; just have a really minor concern. ‍  Elias 🪐  (dreaming of Saturn; talk here) 08:47, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello Elias and thanks for doing this review. In relation to ALT2, I assume you mean that the fact in the hook is not explicitly mentioned in the article. That's correct, it is indirectly covered in the 2nd paragraph of the subsection "Others" by how the terms are defined but this may not be sufficient. I added a footnote now to cover this explicitly.
