QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Silver seren: Page is new enough, nominated 4 days after creation. QPQ is satisfied. Hook is interested and cited. Earwig only flags proper nouns/hard to reword phrases (e.g. the civil rights movement of the 1960's). The article states:

The use of ethanol vapor allowed her to make a system of physical dependence that allowed her to quantitatively measure the handling-induced convulsion (HIC) effect of withdrawal, also allowing her to determine that certain genetic traits increased or lowered the strength of the effect. These mice would serve as general models for alcoholism and other testing. Which is more or less accurate to the hook, just simplified. I would prefer to see the segment serve as general models for alcoholism be more explicit relative to the hook. It's left implicit that alcohol vapors were used in this step.

Additionally, per WP:DYKCITE the source [1] should, "The facts of the hook in the article should be cited no later than the end of the sentence in which they appear." So the source here needs to be added, or a different source should be used.

No other issues noted. 🏵️Etrius ( Us) 04:58, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi, Etriusus! I've extended the ref to the previous sentence and done a bit of the an expansion of the latter sentence. Hopefully that fixes things. Silverseren^C 23:31, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
