  • I'll do this one. Umimmak (talk) 23:56, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
  • @Casliber:
  • New enough (created 19 Feb); Long enough (2972 char); never been on front page before, neutral in tone, every non-lede paragraph has at least one citation; no apparent copyright violations; images in article are appropriately licensed.
  • Hook is short enough, cited in article, interesting.
  • I wonder if a tighter crop might be better for the hook image? Something to consider.
But regardless of that suggestion, the hook passes. Approved. Umimmak (talk) 14:57, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
