Approve Main Hook Article was nominated on the same day it was made, so is new enough. The article is plenty long enough and reads neutrally, with inline citations, and the copyvio detector sees no issues outside of quotations used. The hooks given are short enough, interesting enough, and are cited inline. I'd say the main hook is the most interesting option. The QPQ has also been done. Looks good to go.
