  • Hi Usernameunique , review follows: article created 12 April; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; no overly close paraphrasing from the newspaper snippets I checked; hook is interesting, mentioned in article and backed up by the sources cited; a QPQ has been carried out.
