New enough and long enough. This is DYK credit number 5: next time, you will need a QPQ, but not now. Hook fact checks out to sources and timing. No textual issues. As a note... I did add pages to the newspapers.com citations (this has to be done manually) and used last/first syntax instead of |author=. A couple of the articles span multiple pages, so you might want to see those article citations to see how to manage that. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:26, 5 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
