Article length and age are fine, multiple spot checks revealed no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, reliable sources are used and all the references to sources that are accessible online check out, AGF for the few that aren't. Hooks are all interesting; ALT2 is most interesting (imho) but it is only implied in the article, not stated outright, so I'm passing the main hook, it is referenced and the length is appropriate. Good start to an interesting topic, I can't believe we didn't already have an article for this! On a side note, "too many references" probably isn't a complaint heard much around here, but, in looking at the article as a casual reader (not as an editor), I found all of the notes and refs a bit distracting. Where possible, I would move the mid-sentence refs to the end of the sentence, and maybe even where a certain source is used multiple times in a paragraph, I would consider just noting it at the end of the paragraph. Again, that's probably just a style preference and, FWIW, just my two cents, in no way affecting the DYK nomination. All in all, nice work!--William Thweatt TalkContribs 01:02, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
