 * Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough, and is neutral. Earwig's doesn't detect any significant copyvios and QPQ is done. Both hooks are interesting and I do not have a preference., please put the source at the end of the sentence used as a hook per DYK rules. After that is done, this can pass.

 * According to the instructions in NewDYKnomination, providing a direct link is fine ("[link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates.") RockMagnetist(talk) 01:43, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry I meant in the article. Per 3b "Each fact in the hook must be supported in the article by at least one inline citation to a reliable source, appearing no later than the end of the sentence(s) offering that fact. Citations at the end of the paragraph are not sufficient." See WP:DYKRULES. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 01:51, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh, o.k. I added citations to sentences that are not verbatim because they rely on context, but I hope will be sufficient. RockMagnetist(talk) 03:20, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
