Overall: 
Hog Farm, I confirmed this article was promoted to Good Article status on January 23, 2022; and that it is appropriate in length at 4560 characters (819 words) "readable prose size." This article is well-sourced, with inline citations to verifiable references, including for the content of the hook. The article is neutral and plagiarism-free as far as I can tell. The hook content is cited, and the hook itself is interesting. There are no images in the hook or article. Thank you for this thorough and comprehensive addition to DYK.

- Special occasion date review: I cannot access the source, so AGF on the date. Except that, I see no other issue with the special occasion date request. So, per nominator's request, I have moved it to the holding area for February 25. Thanks for your work! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 14:20, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
