  • Article is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, well-written, and with no copyvio/plagiarism/close paraphrasing issues. Hook is cited and doesn't appear to have any issues; both hooks are very interesting and I can't decide which one I like better, so I believe I'll leave that decision to the promoter. No pic, QPQ done, and I don't see any other issues that would prevent this from being listed on the main page. Good to go!--SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 14:03, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
