Created by Thriley (talk). Self-nominated at 06:01, 14 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Thomas Ragle; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article is long enough, new enough, well-cited and contains no overt close paraphrasing that Earwig and a spotcheck could detect. Hook directly cited, QPQ complete. I performed a copyedit and light cleanup, mostly improving citations. AGF hook fact. DigitalIceAge (talk) 22:46, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
