  • New enough (5x expanded on 15 November), long enough (10,273 characters). Almost fully referenced; there are a couple of "citation required" tags that could be resolved. I've tweaked the hook slightly to make it correct. 'New user, so no QPQ requirement. I've added an image, appropriately licensed if anyone wants it. Good to go.
