Approving both hooks. Article is long enough and promoted to GA same day as DYK nomination. Article is presentable, well-sourced, and copyvio-free. Hooks are interesting and sourced; although 2nd source is not accessible, it is acceptable on good faith. Image meets criteria, QPQ done. Good to go, thank you for your nomination Peacemaker67!
