Hi Yakikaki, review follows: article created from redirect 29 April; article exceeds minimum length and is well written; article is cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing from the online sources; both hook facts are interesting and mentioned in the article, happy to AGF on offline source for both; image is free and appropriately licensed, it also works well at this scale; A QPQ has been carried out. Good to go; the article was a pleasure to read, thanks - Dumelow (talk) 18:50, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
