Hi Gog the Mild, another excellent 100YW article! Review follows: article promoted to GA on 28 December; article is very well written and cited inline throughout to impeccable sources; I only checked a very small minority of sources that I could access but found no issue with overly close paraphrasing; A QPQ has been carried out; hook fact is interesting and mentioned in the article, though is there a reason you present it as the opinion of Clifford J. Rogers in the article but as a plain statement of fact here? - Dumelow (talk) 08:21, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Dumelow and thanks for the rapid review. Re Rogers, yes: in the fine tradition of DYKs it is a minor teaser in order to make it hookier. It seems harmless to me - "most successful" is inherently a matter of opinion, so I don't see the proposed hook getting anything beyond a wry smile from a reader.

Thanks Gog the Mild, fair enough - Dumelow (talk) 12:33, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
