Overall: 
Article created on 19 March. It does not meet the length requirement (despite some needless repetition that artificially inflates the length), and substantial copyediting is needed for grammar and whatnot. The sources appear to be reliable ones, but they do not verify all the information in the article (and are not cited in all places where they should be); I have added some maintenance tags to this effect. There are no obvious neutrality issues. Earwig reveals no copyvio, but this is a false negative caused by the tool's inability to parse Google Books text—for instance, the article says It was written by Ralf Burger in 1986 as a demonstration program for Chaos Computer Club conference.
while the source says It was written by Ralf Burger as a demonstration program for the Chaos Computer Club conference [...]
, which is obviously way too WP:Close paraphrasing. The hook is properly cited and interesting. This is the nominator's first DYK nomination, so they are QPQ exempt. TompaDompa (talk) 23:11, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
