General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - The hooks need to be shorter; all of them are over 200 characters and ALT1 is almost 300. Also, only one ellipsis is needed, and perhaps run a grammar check (I think a few commas need to be added, but the content itself looks fine).
QPQ: Done.

Overall: The article itself also may need a bit of work in syntax, grammar, and formatting, though it is well-cited and covers the most important points. A shortened version of ALT1 with these changes looks promising for DYK. Indeed, that hook caught my interest when browsing this page to do a review.

Ready for new review. -SusanLesch (talk) 15:21, 23 November 2018 (UTC) Minor copyediting complete to address neutrality comment. Entire article expanded and assessed to B-Class. Hooks have all been shortened. -SusanLesch (talk) 15:06, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
written neutrally, cited, large enough, new enough. I htink the first hook is the best, the others being too wordy. QPQ done. hook cited. good to go. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:05, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
