No QPQ needed. Hook is interesting and inline cited to Ostrich, a scholarly journal. Image is correctly labeled PD. Article is long enough and NPOV. Article has been significantly more than 5x expanded. Earwig returns "violation unlikely" on Copyvio. Looks good. Chetsford (talk) 16:31, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
