Article is new enough (created August 24), long enough (> 5,000 characters of text), is neutrally written, and cites sources with inline citations. My spot-checking found no evidence of copyvio, plagiarism, or unduly close paraphrasing issues, or copyright violations. Both hooks are short enough (175-180 characters) and are interesting to a broad audience. Both hook facts are accurate (per the cited sources) and supported by inline citations. DYK completed. I find that alt 1 hook a bit more interesting, but both are acceptable, and I leave it to the person building the queue to choose between them. Cbl62 (talk) 02:21, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
