QPQ unnecessary, as stated. New article, easily big enough, and well-sourced. Earwig found only properly-marked direct quotes, no problematic copying. The hook source will not be news to anyone who went through a public education in California, but I think it's interesting enough, and well-enough sourced. Good to go. —
