Hi Cwmhiraeth, review follows: article created 17 April; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I couldn't access all of the journal articles but there is no overly close paraphrasing from the abstracts, AGF on the rest; hooks are interesting (and terrifying!), the hook facts are mentioned in the article; AGF that the hook is supported by the particular journal article cited (the abstract doesn't mention humans, though the Comparative Clinical Pathology article which is not cited for that sentence does); a QPQ has been carried out. Looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 06:54, 21 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
