Approve Main Hook and Image Article was created today, so is new enough. It sits at ~2500 characters, so is long enough, and it reads neutrally with in-line citations. The hook itself is short enough and interesting. I'm going to go with the main hook because I feel it flows better as a sentence than the alt. A copyvio check found no issues. The QPQ has been done. The image is under a reuse license, is used in the article, and shows up well as a small image, so works fine. Everything looks good to go. Silver seren^C 23:50, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
