Hi
Daniel Case, review follows: article created 13 October; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing from the sources, quotations are all properly attributed; hook is definitely interesting, is mentioned in the article and checks out to cited sources; I don't think ALT1 can be used as there is a consensus (which may be unwritten) against naming individuals without an article in the hook (though I am happy to be corrected on this); ALT0 is fine and the date request is appropriate; a QPQ has been carried out. On ALT0 I might suggest putting the "25 years ago today" at the front of the hook but happy to leave this decision to the promoter -

That has been suggested, yes, I think, in the Boing Boing post, or at least in its comments. But as speculative as it was I didn't think it should go in the article without more mention elsewhere.
