Improved to Good Article status by Gonzo fan2007 (talk). Self-nominated at 21:25, 16 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Bob Harlan; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

Promoted to "GA" class on 8/16 satisfying newness requirement. Also plenty long enough, well and neutrally written and sourced. Review of Earwig results checks out fine. Hook is short enough, interesting, and supported by in-line citation to reliable source. QPQ is there. Impressive work. Good to go. Cbl62 (talk) 01:50, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

I think "roots" is colloquial and I see it does appear in the second source after the hook sentence in the article. I do not think it is disallowed so I will promote the hook and if there is an issue with "roots" we can solve it in the prep. Bruxton (talk) 15:31, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
