• Everything in the article appears to be sourced, hook appears and is sourced in the article (will verify shortly), no copyvio concerns, QPQ done. The hook, however, is too long. In a character counter, it appears as 234 characters long, and can't be over 200. Writing a more concise hook shouldn't be too big of an issue, though. Departure– (talk) 19:03, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

@Departure–:, thank you for initiating this review. I just ran the hook through a character counter and it says that there are only 198 characters, which is also what the DYK submission template said when I created this hook. I believe the issue is that, when all of the markups are included, such as the double apostrophes and brackets and such, it is 234 characters. However, per the DYK rules, "The hook cannot exceed 200 prose characters", and under those guidelines, I believe my hook, while nearing the limit, is still short enough to qualify.

@JJonahJackalope: aside from that, which isn't an issue after all, the article is alright for DYK. Hook verifies. Good to go! Departure– (talk) 21:24, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
