Great article. New enough (created October 17), long enough, NPOV, hook is interesting and inline cited to the New Orleans Times-Picayune which is RS. Earwig returns "violation unlikely" for copyvio at 16.7%. My only question is a stylistic one; can we just paraphrase the quoted portion rather than quoting it directly which is a bit clunky? Also, the direct quote may be non-compliant with MOS:QUOTE as we have to include attribution either in-text or through a footnote and, when the hook appears on the front page, no footnote will be included.
