- all mostly looks good with this: the hook fact is cited and verified, the article is long enough, well-cited, compliant with policy, and Earwig shows unlikely copvio. I did wonder about the image, and it's tag as "in the public domain because it consists entirely of information that is common property and contains no original authorship". Can really be said to hold for an image depicting text? I'll pass it anyway though, because the depicted text is just the book's title and author and publisher, which isn't really controversial material that someone would claim rights over. Signing off either ALT0 or ALT1, as I find that an interesting hooky fact, moreso than that it was used as a textbook for medical grads. — Amakuru (talk) 18:03, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
