• Article is eligible for DYK (recently became a good article and has never been on the main page before). The image is free to use. I'll review ALT0 and ALT1. I think ALT1 is the most interesting.

Reviewing ALT0:

It's interesting and the hook matches the article. I can't access the provided source so I'll approve with good faith.

Reviewing ALT1:

I think this is much more interesting than ALT0. The hook matches the article and the source matches.
