Article is long enough. It is written from a neutral POV. The article features proper citations, and the hook is cited. The image is fine. No copyvio or close paraphrasing detected. When I check the length of the hook it comes out as 210... but I'm probably doing something wrong since the bot says it's 197, and I know you know what you're doing.
