Comment: Open to any rewrite of the hook ... not sure this is quite clear enough

5× expansion of 22 March 2021‎ version completed from 623 characters to 3,524 and nominated on the same day. No copyvios detected and duplication detector check of online sources[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF PDF which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 174 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Ref 5 (verifying the hook) is a reliable source. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 10:37, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
