This article is a newly promoted GA and meets the newness and length criteria. The image is in the public domain but the caption is rather long, and I suggest the image should not be used. The hook facts are cited inline and any of the hooks could be used, the article is neutral as far as I can see, and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done.
