Article was 5x expanded (1649B to 16KB). No concerning pings on Earwigs and no close paraphrasing. Hook is interesting, cited, and short enough for DYK; AGF on offline sources. Please ping me once you've completed your QPQ and I'll pass this nomination. Morgan695 (talk) 16:04, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
