Article is new enough, long enough, and policy compliant. Spot check and earwig (0%??) do not detect copyvio of unduly close paraphrasing. The hook is short enough, interesting, and supported by in-line citations. A portion of the hook is cited to an off-line source (Ian Hawkey, Feet of the Chameleon), and that part is accepted on good faith from an experienced contributor. QPQ is satisfied.
