Approve hook and image The article was submitted on the same day as creation, so is new enough. It's just short of 2000 characters, so is long enough. It reads neutrally, uses in-line citations, and has no noticeable copyvio issues after using the tool, AGF on the offline sources.The hook is short enough, interesting enough, and has the hook material covered with an in-line citation. QPQ has been done and the image uses available copyright and appears fine under the smaller size requirements. Looks good to go!
