  •   New enough (moved to mainspace Nov 26), long enough (4246B of prose, not counting the lists of publications), and adequately sourced (for the prose; I don't think it's reasonable to require footnotes for the lists of publications as that information is more or less self-sourcing). DYK check shows that this is the nominator's third nomination, so no QPQ needed. Although Earwig's confidence numbers were on the high side, the only copying it found were marked quotes, titles, and set phrases; no copyvio found. I'm not sure the photo of Einstein really adds much to the hook, but it's within rules as a properly labeled public domain image. The hook itself is interesting, short enough, and adequately sourced in the article but there we do run into copying issues: the hook phrasing "...a widely-accessible, yet comprehensive overview of..." differs only in a single linking word from the source listed in the nomination, too closely paraphrased for my taste. It should either be a quote (and marked as a quote both in the hook and with sourcing in the article), or be more completely rewritten to not copy the sources. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:00, 29 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
