I've made two minor edits to the hook - correcting a ′ to a ' and placing "the" before name of institute. Otherwise hook is good and interesting. The article could be better in phrasing (similar to the issues with hook) but satisfies for DYK. I can't access the source, which is the only issue. I think it's geoblocked. I'd pass on good faith, but if the source is restricted it might be that the article needs another source for this (it looks like a primary source, anyway, which may not establish notability).

- I corrected your incorrect "correction". Please see WP:DYKSG#C7, {{`s}}, and {{'s}}. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 23:51, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
- ... I can see the style guide, but on my screen at least the version I used keeps the apostrophe further from the bold text than the current does. Oh well. Kingsif (talk) 01:51, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, and that undesirable extra space is the whole point. {{'s}} is used with italic text because the extra space it adds keeps right-slanted letters from crashing into apostrophes; when used with non-italics the added space is incorrect and unsightly, which is why I noticed it and came by to fix it.
