GA within 5 days, long enough, AGF on single book source, other sources okay- a mix of primary and secondary sources, neutrally written and very well cited, well summarized/paraphrased, no copyvio detected by earwig. All three hooks are interesting. ALT0 is definitional, and ALT1 credits the Nobel winner, so either wolud work, but I prefer ALT2, short and punchy, hookier. All three are within length guidelines and supported by inline citations. QPQ completed. Well-written and interesting as well as informative! — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 09:35, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
