  • Reviewing
  • Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, cited from appropriate sources - although none of the 3 main sources cited is available online, so taken on trust.
  • No copyvio on Earwig
  • Hooks are short enough and supported by inline citations . I think the original is of more interest to a general audience.
  • QPQ done
  • Good to go. Papamac (talk) 12:59, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
