- Comment: It's been 10 days since this was created, and I forgot to nominate it for DYK until now. This is my first nomination, but I'm pretty sure it's still eligible per the guidelines per D9.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited: - ?
Interesting:

Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
Freely licensed: Used in article: Clear at 100px:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: Article was created on February 5 and nominated on February 16. DYK should allow the nomination after seven days since it is the first by this editor. Length and sourcing are adequate. Article is neutral in tone and no plagiarism issues detected. Images used in the article are freely licensed on the Commons. The nominated image is clear at a low resolution, used in the article, and greatly enhanced the hook. QPQ is not required for this nomination. The proposed hooks are interesting to a broad audience, but the sentence with supports the hooks needs a citation directly after it. Overall, this nomination is in fairly good condition and will look great in the DYK section of the main page. Flibirigit (talk) 23:32, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

@Flibirigit: I've added a citation to replace the citation needed template, are any more changes needed in the article? >>> Ingenuity.talk(); 01:31, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

ALT0 and ALT1 now meet the citation criteria. Both are properly mentioned in the article verified by the source. Nomination is good to go. Flibirigit (talk) 01:39, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
