Article long and new enough, and the hook is interesting. Article generally well-referenced, and I could find the hook's fact in the citation. I took the liberty of slapping the inline reference tag into the sentence in question. As QPQ is done, article is good to go. Juxlos (talk) 03:01, 16 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
