— Article is new enough and long enough, and hook is historically interesting, however, recommend adding year date of 18801890 to end of hook, per ALT1. All images are in the public domain. Hook and article are (very) well cited. No close paraphrasing detected with Earwig's Copyvio Detector. No duplicate links. QPQ satisfied. Good to go. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 21:33, 6 February 2020 (UTC)- Comment to Promoter - Could this be put into the #1 slot with picture. I believe it would get a lot of views. Thank you.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 22:14, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
