General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.
Overall: New enough and long enough. Hook facts are interesting; I prefer ALT0. Earwig shows 23%, which is explained by the attributed quote and the name of the museum. QPQ is done. Everything looks good.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:41, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
