Article is new enough and long enough, with the relevant information being cited inline and verified. AGF on the Google Books source (though since it was published in the 18th century, shouldn't it be public domain?), although other hook information is also verified by the other two sources. QPQ has been done. Image is adequately licensed, but I will leave it to the promoter if it will be used or not. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 04:25, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
