Well done on writing such a thorough and well researched article. Recently promoted to GA, long enough, well referenced, neutral, and although most of the sources are offline or in other languages, I didn't see any close paraphrasing on a spotcheck of a few online sources. The hook is certainly interesting and cited inline (thanks also for providing the relevant excerpt above). A QPQ review has been provided although it isn't strictly required as this is the nominator's first DYK nomination. 97198 (talk) 12:19, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
