I don't know how this hasn't caught anyone's attention yet. Both hooks work, but ALT1 is very interesting. The article is new, long enough, and properly sourced. There is no apparent copyright violation. Despite great potential for bias, I find the article neutral. With QPQ done, I think this is ready to go! Surtsicna (talk) 09:59, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
