Article moved to main space on 1/13 satisfying newness requirement. Substantially exceeds length requirement. Appears to be policy compliant. Earwig not opening for me, but spot check found no issues. Hooks are short enough, and Spanish language sources accepted in good faith from established contributor. Alt 0 is much clearer and so I am approving it and striking alt 1 which I find to be a bit awkward and confusing as to what replaced what. QPQ completed.
