Improved to Good Article status by Epipelagic (talk). Self-nominated at 23:26, 21 November 2021 (UTC).

  • Reviewed: to follow
General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

  • Adequate sourcing: Yes
  • Neutral: Yes
  • Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: No - A bunch of the lede pings as possibly plagiarized on an Earwig scan. It looks like identical text is used in the body and appropriately cited as CC-BY licensed, but does that make it okay to use the exact same text in the lede without attribution immediately following it? I'm not sure, so hopefully someone who reads this knows, or I can try to find out.

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: No - Even for such a technical topic, I'd imagine there are possible hooks that would be a bit more interesting and accessible to the general reader?
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.

QPQ: No - Pending
Overall: Just waiting on a question, and offering an invitation for some hook workshopping. I'm watching the nom page, so I'll see any comments or questions. If there's not an answer on the lede issue in the near future, I'll ask some editors who I think might know the answer. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 07:20, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
