General: Article is new enough and long enough

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation

  • Interesting:  
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall:   The first hook is not acceptable because it's facile and not a definite fact. ALT1 is reasonably ok so I've struck the first hook to make the selection clear. There is a paragraph without a citation but that doesn't seem to be a show stopper. Andrew🐉(talk) 20:18, 2 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

  @Andrew Davidson and Gobonobo: I have added a {{needs citation}} tag which must be resolved WP:DYKSG#D2 before we proceed. Bruxton (talk) 20:36, 8 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
