Overall: All but one sources are offline so I have to assume good faith on the hook and text. The available link is not plagiarized. I did a minor copy-edit, nothing major. The article is new and long enough, the QPQ was performed correctly. And as I got nothing else to review, the pictures are PD or free to use. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 02:38, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
