Article is new enough, long enough, well written, neutral, properly sourced and cited, hook is properly sourced, I prefer the original hook, no copyvio, there is a couple of minor close paraphrases from ref. 3, this link, however the source has a CC-4.0 license here, so no problem. Jstor.org source here was verified. QPQ done. Good to go. Bammesk (talk) 01:57, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
