Review: The article is new enough, big enough, well written and referenced, nominated timely. No copyvios found. The hook is interesting and cited. QPQ was done. I have to admit, I was hooked by the hook. Since April 1 is past, I recommend this go in the last position of the day's DYKs, generally reserved for oddball or intriguing hooks. -- MelanieN (talk) 22:24, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
