 * Article promoted to GA on May 27 and nominated for DYK on the same day. Article is more than 1,500 characters (17,364 characters). QPQ is completed. I'd say that either the original hook or ALT1 are the most interesting, but I have no preference for which one I prefer, both are good. Symbol confirmed.svg — Calvin999  08:55, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
