Overall: Howdy! This seems to be your first DYK, so welcome! I hope you have a wonderful time and I hope this can be an informative experience for you in your journey Iggypoptarts! Unfortunately though, this DYK nomination needs some work before it can be DYK eligible. I will guide you through some areas of strength and areas that need improvement before it can successfully pass.

To start, the article is plagiarism free (earwig detects matches with quoted passages), it is neutral, and it is long enough. These areas need no adjustment. However, there are several areas in which need to be improved upon before it is DYK eligible.

The article is not new enough, since it was made in August 2023. The most ideal area of improvement for you to allow it to pass eligibility is to expand it by 5 times its current length. Portions of the article are currently not cited, namely the "Records" section being wholly uncited as well as portions of the "Background" section. The hook is sourced within the article, but is very dry at the moment. There are definitely areas of improvement before this DYK nomination can go forward, and I hope you are able to rework this article as it seems promising!
