• for main hook and ALT2. Length and date both check out fine, and spot-checks reveal no evidence of close paraphrasing, copyvio or similar. Inline hooks support the main hook and ALT2, but the prose of the article differs from ALT1: in the article, it says that he changed the tense, and that changing it, along with having a break because of his daughter's birth, "helped him understand the character better."
