5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 20:22, 15 July 2022 (UTC).

Overall: Epicgenius, following my review of this article and the proposed hooks, I assess that they meet the criteria for DYK. This article is 19803 characters (3251 words) and is "readable prose size", and it has been more than 5x expanded since edits for expansion began on 14 July. While all hooks meet DYK criteria, I prefer the original (first) hook. The hook image is CC BY 2.0. There are no instances of close paraphrasing or copyvios.
