This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. A QPQ has been done. We just need a citation for the single sentence paragraph in the "Career" section. The history of the article also provides a history of how you have used your sandbox, and I believe an admin could remove this extraneous information.
