That's a really impressive rewrite! You should nominate it for GA and it'll be an easy pass. Article is new enough, long enough, and well referenced. Main hook is very interesting and supported by offline reference, accepted AGF. The other two hooks are a bit too technical. QPQ not required. No copyvio detected (AGF for offline sources). Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 06:28, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
