• Meets DYK requirements for length and recent creation of new article. No copyvios detected and Commons image has appropriate free license. Very well written and informative article. The hooks are properly sourced and verified (I have NY Times Machine access but the general reader may not). Personally, I like the Alt1 hook the best, especially since the NY Times source headline is the "...Secret Kept 18 Years"; if this hook is chosen by the promoter, they may wish to add, "...were secretly remade...".  JGHowes  ^talk 23:46, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
