Drive-by comment. Nice hook! The mixture of such disparate styles compelled me to click on the article to see more. Unfortunate none of his works are PD to illustrate the point. Cbl62 (talk) 15:09, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Article is new enough (created 9/25) and long enough (c. 2,500 characters). Article is cited, appears policy compliant, and Earwig doesn't detect problems. The hook is short enough (173 characters) and interesting. The hook is supported by an inline citation to an offline source; good faith is assumed from an established editor. QPQ has been done.
