  • New enough, long enough, neutrally written, no close paraphrasing seen in online sources. Images are fair use. No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5 DYK credits. Hook is interesting; I just tightened the hook with some commas. Offline hook ref AGF and cited inline. I'm just wondering what those squiggles are at the beginning of each footnote?
