Passes 5x expansion, meets policy. @
Bruin2: I think that ALT1 has the most interesting nugget but it doesn't actually link the article! Can you rephrase that hook? Also, we're still missing your review here.

Hi SFB. I have rephrased ALT1 below as ALT2 to address your comment. One problem, by my count ALT2 contains 203 characters, including spaces. If this is objectionable, then we can replace the first use of Oklahoma with state to get below the limit of 200.
I have also properly bolded the article link in the ALT2a hook, which is 188 characters. (Shorter is better.) I struck ALT2 as it was over the maximum. I've also corrected the actual name of the article in the hook, DYK nom page and DYKmake templates, and properly added the image. Note that the review needs expansion so it mentions what exactly was checked (age, close paraphrasing, neutrality, free image, and so on).

Hi BlueMoonset and SFB. I think ALT2a is quite acceptable as the hook. Let's run with it. Thanks, too, for correctly linking the image. SFB, please respond to BlueMoonset's request to expand the review. Thanks, again.

Full review needed.

5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. ALT2a hook ref verified and cited inline. I tweaked the language in the hook. Image is freely licensed and appears in article. QPQ done. Good to go.
