Creation checks out, QPQ checks out, hook is definitely interesting. I made a few copyedits to the article which of course feel free to adjust/revert as you see fit. Assuming GF on the references, but other online sources certainly give the impression that this was one helluva bang. Good to go. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus!
