|comments = {{ping|Apocheir}} The article has well-cited statements with no copyvios and plagiarism detected by Earwig. While the ALT1 hook is good, I am unsure about the main hook because it includes extra details (professor being from Italy, prison location near Seattle) that are not explicitly mentioned in the article—is that allowed? I am also unsure if this can be held all the way for March 14, so I’ll defer that to someone else who can provide a second opinion on SOHA.

* Coming back to this now, for Alt0, “a prison in the US” would probably be better. It assumes less of the reader. I added a couple words to the article specifying that the [[University of Torino]] is in Italy. [[User:Apocheir|Apocheir]] ([[User talk:Apocheir|talk]]) 23:13, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

Overall: @Apocheir: The article has well-cited statements with no copyvios and plagiarism detected by Earwig. While the ALT1 hook is good, I am unsure about the main hook because it includes extra details (professor being from Italy, prison location near Seattle) that are not explicitly mentioned in the article—is that allowed?
