- This interesting article is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ is needed and the tags need to be attended to. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:34, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Cwmhiraeth: QPQ completed, concerns addressed; new ALT2 suggested since another editor raised concerns about the original ALT. Thank you for your reviews, Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 04:45, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
