Fantastic work here! Date, length and references are fine. Neutral and no obvious close paraphrasing on a spot-check of sources. A QPQ has been done and the photo is in the public domain. All three hooks are interesting and cited; I think ALT0 and ALT1 are the most interesting. 97198 (talk) 03:57, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
