• These two articles are new enough and long enough. The hooks are cited inline and either could be used. The articles are neutral and do not seem to contain close paraphrasing. I have added "U.S." to ALT1 to be on the safe side because claims of "first" come up for close scrutiny these days. I accept the claim in ALT0 in good faith but have not checked it through other means. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:16, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

• Taking the main hook since I did not see an immediate source for the claim of it being the "first without government support" claim. but the main hook checks out so we're good to go.  MPJ-DK  23:28, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
