New and long enough - created today, 3k+ characters. Properly referenced (1 in-depth source and a few other somewhat substantial ones, all accessible.) Hook is just about interesting enough (and probably the most interesting bit about the bio). No copyvio alarm bells ringing - Earwig score of 23%, parts flagged out can't be easily paraphrased. QPQ done. Should be OK - Happy New Year KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 20:24, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Smithsonian Museum of Natural History...

Of all the museums available in USA, why would anybody archive a reading test in a natural history museum? 2A00:23C4:E987:5001:D592:B8F5:17E1:203E (talk) 08:28, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
