. The article is new, it was moved to article mainspace on 18 September 2018 [1]. The article is of more than adequate size. The article wording is presented in a neutral tone. The article passes NPOV. The article makes very good use of inline citations. The hook itself is cited properly and verified. The hook is interesting. The hook, and the article, help to address Wikipedia bias issues with regards to multiple topics. Thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia. Sagecandor (talk) 22:24, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
