Article is in date, long enough, and well sourced. Meets all policies, hook fact checks out. No QPQ required. Nothing particularly concerning on a limited scan of earwig for copyvio. Overall an interesting article on a fascinating subject. Looks good to go. As an aside there are free use images of examples of her work which might go well to illustrate the hook, but this is at the nominator's discretion. Spokoyni (talk) 11:28, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
