Epicgenius, I just completed a review of this article, and I find that it meets all the criteria for DYK. This article is confirmed as 5x expanded by the requestor, the article is long enough, and its content meets core policies and guidelines. All three hooks are fewer than 200 characters, and their citations check out. The image is free, and is licensed CC BY-SA 3.0. DYK moderators, I prefer ALT2. -- West Virginian (talk) 00:16, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
