Article is new, long enough and neutral. It cites sources inline. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" reports no significant text similarities. Both hooks are well-formatted and interesting. Their lengths are within limit. Hook facts are accurate, and cited inline. (I wished the source of the original hook given as proof is added to the article as well.) QPQ was done. Good to go.

@CeeGee: I use Wikipedia Library for NYT, so that's a little hard to do. Raymie (t • c) 17:48, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
