New enough, long enough, neutrally written, no close paraphrasing seen in online sources. Images are fair use. No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5 DYK credits. Hook is interesting; I just tightened the hook with some commas. Offline hook ref AGF and cited inline. I'm just wondering what those squiggles are at the beginning of each footnote?

They are note labels that link to the source in the bibliography. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 01:20, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

@Chris.sherlock: Oh, now I see. Could you fix that red-line tag in the references please? Yoninah (talk) 10:33, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Fixed :-) - Chris.sherlock (talk) 10:37, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
