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

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - Needs a few more inline references
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: - Some minor close paraphrasing[1] (ignore the matching titles)

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith Interesting:

Image eligibility:

Freely licensed: - Needs better licensing, both PD-US rationale (see Hirtle chart) and a rationale for country of origin. The current license tag is contradictory, we can't say when the author died if it is of unknown authorship.
Used in article:
Clear at 100px: - Not clear enough at the main page resolution, IMO

QPQ: None required.

Overall: Nice work on the article! ALT0 looks better to me, but both meet requirements. (t · c) buidhe 03:40, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the review! Added inline references where missing. Similarities picked up by Copyvio Detector appear to be mainly titles of works and their English translations, and the limited close paraphrasing is attributed in the text, but I removed some similar phrasing in any case.

IMO, the first hook has more punch. For what it is worth. 2603:7000:2143:8500:6960:9DFE:CAD2:CC8E (talk) 19:07, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Approving either hook. Image is not approved for reasons above. (t · c) buidhe 19:26, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
