Article is new, long enough and meutral. It cites sources inline. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" reports no significant text similarities. The hook (I prefer the origian one) is well-formatted and interesting. Its length is withiin limit and its fact is cited inline. QPQ is not provided. Approval will follow addressing the issue.
