  • Article was promoted to GA status on the 17th. QPQ has been completed. Earwigs is down, so I am going to AGF that the article passed copyvio tests in the course of its GA review.. Hooks are interesting, cited, and short enough for DYK. Morgan695 (talk) 15:13, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
  • Was able to run Earwigs and it found no instances of copyvio or close paraphrasing. Morgan695 (talk) 20:51, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
