Hi Lagrange613, review follows: article created 18 July; article is of good length, well written and cited inline throughout; sources look to be reliable; I don't have access to all the sources but found no issue with overly close paraphrasing from those I checked; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in this article (though not made explicit at Charles H. Kline) and cited to a reliable source; happy to AGF on sourcing, which is offline. Looking good, just need a QPQ from the nominator - Dumelow (talk) 08:12, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
