@Buidhe: Interesting article. Found no copyvio from the online sources, AGF for the rest (majority of sourcing). New enough, long enough and QPQ done. Not sure which hook to go with (all are interesting), but the original is succinct so perhaps that one. --Al Ameer (talk) 17:32, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
