Comment: More hooks pending

Improved to Good Article status by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 15:35, 30 May 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Substantial article, meeting of GA criteria implicates DYK pass. QPQ has been completed. Hooks are short enough for DYK and interesting; personally prefer ALT0. Hooks are cited, AGF on paywalled sources. Morgan695 (talk) 23:56, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
