• I always feel bad using an Epicgenius DYK nom as a QPQ because they're blindingly easy to review. Article expansion is greater than 10x, sources are all sufficiently reliable, statements all appear to be properly sourced, hooks are cited appropriately. The image seems good to go. I'm not especially partial to any of the hooks, but I suppose the first one has a bit of irony to it that could prove clickable. ALT3 has a bit of mystique that could also work.
