The full review is to follow (I made a preliminary check and the hook is cited inline and verified), but for now I would suggest that the article be given a copyedit as there some typographical errors and missing "the" words. Also, in the article there's a mention of a "Dream mine"; should it not be "Dream Mine"? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:20, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
Done @Narutolovehinata5: Thanks. I've made some minor copy edits, though can't find the missing 'the'. It's often the case that the original author can't spot glaring errors because of their over-familiarity with its sentence construction, yet it stands out obviously to another person. Please guide me if you see I've still missed something. Best, Nick Moyes (talk) 09:00, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
Article meets DYK requirements, is adequately sourced, free from close paraphrasing, with a hook that is interesting, cited and verified inline, and with a QPQ done. Good to go. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:14, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
