Everything checks out. Both articles are new enough (Joseph Brittan was moved from userspace 11 September) and nominated in time. Articles is long enough, is neutral and well-written, and have inline citations. Hook is interesting and the first part of the hook is backed up by an offline source (hence AGF) and the second part is backed up by an online source. Good to go!
