Comprehensive, well-written and sourced article, long enough and new enough for DYK. Copyvio detector returns high percentages, but manual examination of the results indicate this is a result of quotations that are properly quoted and cited. Primary hook cited to three sources. Alternate hook doesn't seem compelling enough for DYK so I would stick with the primary hook. Gamaliel (talk) 15:51, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
- I've struck ALT1 because it makes no sense. (a) A book is not a process, and (b) if it's "by" X and Y, then how is it collaboratively written by 30 people? The article seems to be saying that the research was collaborative, or something. EEng 19:07, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
- Fixed it with minor tweak. First hook is still preferable over the ALT, please. Sagecandor (talk) 19:36, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
