Article new enough, long enough, sourced, and otherwise fine. QPQ done, hook is short enough and interesting. Rejecting ALT1 on grounds that the source refers to the Napoleon's hair episode as an "indirect" cause; modification could make that hook perfect. Accept first hook fully. Nice job; forced me to figure out how to use ProQuest through the WLibrary! ~ Pbritti (talk) 21:45, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Pbritti: ALT1 tweaked. Thank you for reviewing – also glad ProQuest is working for you! It's such a lifesaver when writing about obscure tech companies from yesteryear... DigitalIceAge (talk) 22:03, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
