Hi Ykraps, review follows: article moved to mainspace 11 May; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; most of the sources are offline but I found no overly close paraphrasing from the online ones; hook is interesting to me anyway and is mentioned in the article; happy to AGF on offline source for the hook; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 15:27, 11 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
