  • Review: I have reviewed the article. It is new enough, long enough, no copyvios detected by earwig (2.9%), each paragraph is referenced. QPD done. ALT1 is to be used. The hook is supported by two refs but not inline. The hook is fascinating but not individuated in the article sufficiently - readers will have to go fishing for it. These are minor issues which can be fixed with a simple reorder of the text and refs. Szzuk (talk) 11:46, 31 July 2018 (UTC);  Done Dwergenpaartje (talk) 12:37, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
