New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. However, none of the Newspapers.com articles are clipped; if you could clip those, I could check them too. QPQ done.
I find the hook repetitively worded and therefore not so interesting. Can you suggest another hook angle? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 19:50, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yoninah - sorry sorry sorry for this great delay in response. I've locked myself out of my newspapers.com account and am trying to recover the password but I may need to file a request at the library. In the interim, I've given an updated hook, above.

Chetsford, I've clipped the newspapers.com articles for you and can conduct the rest of the review since yoninah has been inactive for a bit. I see two cn tags that should be resolved first. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 15:10, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Citation needed tags still remain. SL93 (talk) 05:49, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Had a crack at cleaning that up & removed some list-trivia. ƒirefly ( t · c ) 15:29, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Issues appear to have been addressed so a new review can be done. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 10:15, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

New enough, meets length requirement, hook has inline citation, article is appropriately written and cited, neutral, no copyright issues. I think Alt0 is the "hookiest" option, but Alt3 is a little clearer. QPQ done. Image is public domain, features in the article, and should look good at front page DYK size. I think this article is ready to go. Glorioussandwich (talk) 15:42, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
