Article is new enough (created 2/25), long enough, and well sourced. Earwig check reveals no concerns. Hooks are all short enough, interesting, and supported by citations (alt 4 requires jumping to the actual Cornell study to confirm "geotagging" as the methodology, but it's there). Personally, I find alt4 to be the most surprising and interesting, but the promoter can decide for themself. QPQ requirement satisfied. Cbl62 (talk) 03:16, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
