This article is properly sourced and has a good hook. Then again, maybe the hook might come across as too simple as it doesn't stand out that. I'd suggest using ALT1. An issue I believe this article needs is expanding the lead per
WP:Lead. Just two paragraphs with each focused on different topics will be make the article suitable to have a proper introduction.

Passing review. Every paragraph is cited and well organized. The hooks are cited too. The lead was expanded per comment. I'd suggest using ALT1 which seems to stand out more at least for me.
