  • – good to go. The article was moved to mainspace on the twenty-fourth; it's duly sourced and more than long enough. Earwig's tool finds no copyright concerns, and no other policy problems are apparent. The QPQ has been completed. I think the hook, which I've verified in the cited source, is certainly "hooky" enough, and it meets the brevity requirement. Thanks for writing this interesting article!
