DigitalIceAge: New enough and long enough. QPQ pending. Hook fact checks out and there are no textual issues. I have clipped all the newspapers.com citations (if you don't have access, consider applying) and also consolidated a "25 years ago" mention with the actual article referenced. Tick will come when QPQ is supplied.

QPQ given. Thanks for the review and cleanup,
Sammi Brie! I will consider applying for Newspapers.com access at the Wikipedia Library. I've been able to work around the subscription nag screens with a bookmark, but it sure is handy having access to the page scans.

The recommendation to do so, in exactly the same situation you were in, was the single best thing that happened to my Wikipedia career—I have the second-most clippings on the project, and I've had 377 DYKs and 32 GAs to date since then, most using at least one clipping. QPQ has been supplied, so a tick is granted.
