Double QPQ done. New enough, long enough, and thoroughly sourced. Nice image at thumbnail size, properly licensed. Interesting enough hook, despite the usual concern with "first" hooks that they are too often either too specific to be interesting or turn out to be incorrect. I was able to access hook source Bratt (the Digitalt Museum source doesn't cover the first production in Sweden claim) but it's in German, which I don't read well enough to check (the same would be even more strongly true for the other Swedish source); through translate, it appears to source the hook but I'm going to mark it as an AGF source. The same language barrier is preventing me from checking for close paraphrasing from the German and Swedish language sources, but Earwig found nothing. Good to go. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:20, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
