(Not a review) I struck the original hook because DYK rules require a hook fact to be in the article, with a reliable source. The source has a picture of a mushroom, but neither it nor the article mentions hallucinogens (nor should they). MANdARAX XAЯAbИAM 17:34, 20 October 2022 (UTC)reply

Sir Joseph: New enough, long enough, neutral, and plagiarism-free – beyond that, I believe there's some things to work out. First, I see that there are some bare URLs used as sourcing – those'll have to be converted into real citations. Additionally, while the article is long enough, it doesn't have a lead or adequate use of sections, and I've classified it as a stub. Hook is cited and interesting, though, and a QPQ has been done, so we're not so far!

Does the article need sections or a lead? Right now it's small enough that I think it's fine. I think it's possible to extend to have a background section, but that wouldn't be about the synagogue at all.

I don't think that's really necessary, or required, for an article of this size. I'm sure it can be expanded over time, and getting it out there is one way to help speed it up, but for DYK, I think the article is good.

Sir Joseph: I'm not so sure I agree – I mean, the size in question is 1648 bytes. That's barely over the 1500 byte threshhold – it makes sense to say discretionarily that to not be considered a stub, it should have some minimum level of organization. If there's a lead, and a separation between the lead and the body, I count that as fine.
