• This review is for ALT0, the best hook IMO:

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

• Adequate sourcing:
• Neutral:
• Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
• Other problems: - One issue: the statement in the intro "It is considered the oldest surviving book in the world" is not supported by the references; only the Smithsonian Magazine says "one of the oldest surviving books." That is a significant difference. Please update this.
