 * Symbol confirmed.svg Great work on this article. It's a recent addition to Good Articles, and the information is cited, though I notice you link to a somewhat confusing Guardian article rather than the actual study, which is here, and makes it much clearer that this study was an answer to criticism, rather than raising them. (The Guardian article is vague on that point). Not an issue for a DYK but just a humble suggestion. No plagiarism, Article is long enough, QPQ checks out. Great work.
