• Cool stuff! Informative article, new and long enough. Both hooks are interesting and cited in-line, though I prefer the first hook (which maybe could even be modified to add that he came up with it in "about 25 seconds", per the BBC). No evidence of substantial copyvio. QPQ has been done. AGF on the Japanese sources. Good job! Kingoflettuce (talk) 10:00, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
