Improved to Good Article status by X750 (talk). Self-nominated at 03:30, 10 January 2023 (UTC).
- Article was promoted to GA status within the last seven days, is over the required prose size and has no copyvio concerns.

User is exempt from QPQ as they have only one credited nomination. My only suggestion would be rewording slightly with a possible ALT below.
