 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough and long enough. Expanded at least 20x.  Well-written, well-sourced, and interesting article that likely meets GA standard.  No evidence of plagiarism.  Hooks look fine although I prefer ALT1 which is more straightforward than the main hook and can be accompanied with the main image in the article.  ALT2 seems too esoteric.
