article is new enough, long enough, well written, neutral, well referenced. Hooks are both verified in the given source as per the quotes provided and are interesting. QPQ is done and there is no indication of copyvio here or in the article. The image is good, nice quality and colors and suitably licensed, pretty confident that PD-art is sufficient here.
