Article is new enough and long enough. Its neutral and well referenced. The image is free and correctly licensed. AGF on non-English sources. Hook is interesting and correctly formatted and article has an inline reference in the right place. Matches on Earwig are mostly names and book titles etc. Approved with a hook supported by a foreign language source, an auto-translation of which supports the hook.
