Overall: @HenryTemplo: Interesting article! Exempt from QPQ, long enough, new enough, sourced and neutral. Earwig detects no issues, and the hooks are both cited and interesting. The only issue I have is simply that there is an entire section that is empty and is tagged as such. When you add that portion ping me and I'll approve the nomination.
