Nice work, good topic! Article is more than long enough, new enough (submitted within 6 days of creation), and is well sourced, with no apparent copyvio issues per Earwig. QPQ is done. Information in proposed hooks appear within the article, with corresponding citations. (Personally I think the 3 ALT hooks are more interesting than the original.)
