A well-written and well-researched article. Nominated within 5 days of receiving GA approval. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced. As most refs are offline, unable to check for close paraphrasing. No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5 DYKs. The only problem is that the hook fact does not have an inline cite, per
Wikipedia:Did you know#Eligibility criteria #3. The hook fact also appears to be a topic sentence introducing the section, not a verifiable fact, and therefore could be interpreted as
OR. I suggest submitting a different hook that is cited inline. Thank you,

Now, inline cites are needed for both hook facts. An inline cite should be placed no later than the end of the sentence in which the hook fact appears. The two hook facts are:
Iona was the main centre of Christianity in Scotland until 806
